| Shadow147 | bachstudies but ntfs drives usually automount | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, ok, I reset my bios to default and it still won't boot | 00:00 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: no | 00:00 |
| Eyemean | hi for some reason the java buttons in homail email ar enot working in firefox, can some one help pls? | 00:00 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: accept whatever is set as the default, though | 00:00 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, I don't see anything legacy in the bios options | 00:00 |
| Varon_Gitano | ok | 00:00 |
| Eyemean | i cant send emails now | 00:00 |
| Shadow147 | bachstudies I think the package you need is automount | 00:00 |
| Shadow147 | !find automount | 00:00 |
| ubotu | File automount found in autofs, logcheck-database, logwatch, tiger | 00:00 |
| bachstudies | Shadow147, the error message when trying to unmount is cannot open /media/.hal-mtab | 00:01 |
| creature | mwe - didn't work. :( | 00:01 |
| Varon_Gitano | xserver-xorg config????? | 00:01 |
| Shadow147 | bachstudies |!find automount | 00:01 |
| Darkmystere | Err can some 1 help me Gparted doesnt show the option to format in ntfs | 00:01 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: go through the X setup with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Say no to autodetection, select Intel on the second step, and accept the defaults for the rest of the configuration. | 00:01 |
| jetscreamer | mkfs.ntfs perhaps | 00:01 |
| mwe | creature: you installed something and updated the menu (you still need that to make it reload it, don't you?) | 00:01 |
| inazad | Hi there, how I can get a terminal access to my router ? (like SSH or Telnet) | 00:01 |
| bachstudies | Shadow147, nothing | 00:02 |
| === Jannitax is now known as Jannita | ||
| Shadow147 | bachstudies hmm well I never have had the error | 00:02 |
| genii | Darkmystere: Thats not an error. It doesn't format in ntfs | 00:02 |
| jetscreamer | jone would need ntfsprogs if it was going to work though | 00:02 |
| soundray | inazad: 'sudo apt-get install ssh' | 00:02 |
| Varon_Gitano | ok but i have to choose my mouse port!! | 00:02 |
| ally_oxoxo | Cpudan80: you there? | 00:02 |
| Cpudan80 | yes? | 00:02 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: no, you don't | 00:02 |
| ally_oxoxo | ok | 00:02 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: you just have to accept whatever is already selected for you | 00:02 |
| ally_oxoxo | i did a clean fresh install | 00:02 |
| tom____ | what package do i need to get all the libc man pages? | 00:02 |
| inazad | soundray, I have SSH, but I want to access to my router | 00:02 |
| mwe | creature: I'm sure you can do something similar then. leave out the single quotes too if you didn't :) | 00:02 |
| ally_oxoxo | but for some reason, when i go to Application - Add/Remove and try to enable xchat it doesn't work | 00:02 |
| michael132 | Wow. I've heard that Ubuntu has great technicial support, and this was incredibly easy to get a split second answer. I'm sure my question was very easy to answer, but I'm really impressed. Thank you guys. | 00:02 |
| Shadow147 | bachstudies hmm well I look around the forums u may find something there | 00:03 |
| Darkmystere | But it has a Ntfs Option.. But you cant click it | 00:03 |
| ally_oxoxo | my Synaptic Package Manager doesnt have xchat either | 00:03 |
| Starnestommy | tom____: glibc-doc | 00:03 |
| soundray | inazad: you probably only have the client so far. You need to install an ssh server on your router. | 00:03 |
| ally_oxoxo | and sudo apt-get install xchat wont work either Cpudan80 | 00:03 |
| creature | mwe: I installed gtkpod, it was not on the menu. I ran update-menus, and it appeared. | 00:03 |
| ally_oxoxo | any ideas? | 00:03 |
| bachstudies | Shadow147, thanks - I have just removed the drives from fstab and will see if manually starting them works now | 00:03 |
| ken_ | !info xchat | ally_oxoxo | 00:03 |

| inazad | soundray, and how ? | 00:03 |
| mwe | creature: hmm | 00:03 |
| Cpudan80 | ally_oxoxo: What does it say? | 00:03 |
| ken_ | ally_oxoxo: you don't have all your repos enabled | 00:03 |
| creature | mwe: There's a characteristic delay before the menu appears after it's been updated, and that didn't happen the first time around either. | 00:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp Well, grub looks good. How long have you waited at the flashing cursor? Have you given it a solid five minutes? | 00:03 |
| Cpudan80 | ally_oxoxo: You need to enable the universe repo | 00:03 |
| danand | inazad: ssh 192.168.?.? -o user=admin works for me | 00:03 |
| tom____ | Starnestommy: i've installed it but still can get pages like printf, strtol | 00:03 |
| Darkmystere | What program would i use to format in Ntfs? | 00:03 |
| mwe | creature: I'm sure you can make it work | 00:03 |
| soundray | inazad: or you have to enable port forwarding on your router, so that it puts incoming traffic through to some other machine that runs the ssh server | 00:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp What is the make and model of your computer? | 00:03 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, yeah, I've given it like half an hour heh | 00:04 |
| ally_oxoxo | Cpudan80: Reading state information... Done | 00:04 |
| ally_oxoxo | E: Couldn't find package xchat | 00:04 |
| Varon_Gitano | I have a screen with Xserver-xorg configurATION, AND -I HAVE TO CHOOSE MY MOUSE PORT, AND SHOWS dEV/ imput mice - /dev psaux | 00:04 |

| Varon_Gitano | gpmdata | 00:04 |
| mwe | creature: without the outer quotes of course? | 00:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp curious. K... lemme do a little forum searchin. While I'm at it, hit the dell support site and see if there is a bios update available. | 00:04 |
| Shadow147 | ally_oxoxo sudo apt-get install xchat-common xchat-gnome | 00:04 |
| creature | mwe: If you have a 99update-notifier, you might like to have a peek at that. It uses DPkg::Post-Invoke. | 00:04 |
| ally_oxoxo | okay let me try that | 00:04 |
| creature | mwe: Of course. | 00:04 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: there is something already selected for you -- probably /dev/input/mice. Just stick with that. | 00:05 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, yes, sir. Thanks for all your help by the way. I appreciate it :) | 00:05 |
| Johnson | is there a way to toggle between command line and console program | 00:05 |
| mwe | creature: maybe so | 00:05 |
| Varon_Gitano | protocol? | 00:05 |
| ally_oxoxo | hey Shadow147 | 00:05 |
| ally_oxoxo | Reading state information... Done | 00:05 |
| ally_oxoxo | E: Couldn't find package xchat-common | 00:05 |
| inazad | soundray, how I can put the SSH server into my router ? | 00:05 |
| Varon_Gitano | imps or explorer | 00:05 |
| ally_oxoxo | doesnt work either | 00:05 |
| mwe | creature: perhaps dig the manual. I'm sure it's possible | 00:05 |

| Darkmystere | mkntfs What i do with that? | 00:05 |
| LjL | ally_oxoxo: i suppose you do have universe enabled? | 00:05 |
| ally_oxoxo | I think it is | 00:05 |
| ally_oxoxo | where can i find it? | 00:06 |
| soundray | inazad: it depends on your router, but it's probably offtopic here, unless your router runs ubuntu. | 00:06 |
| Varon_Gitano | ok but i dont have default option | 00:06 |
| VOiCi | hey | 00:06 |
| LjL | ally_oxoxo: check /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:06 |
| mindframe | can someone help me please? as soon as my system logs in it exits back to gdm | 00:06 |
| Shadow147 | ally_oxoxo oh you need to open your universe list | 00:06 |
| VOiCi | Anyone know a fix to libmyspell problem with firefox(crash)? | 00:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | isn't universe enabled by default? | 00:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | i thought it was anyways | 00:06 |
| ally_oxoxo | ok | 00:06 |
| ally_oxoxo | oh | 00:06 |
| soundray | mindframe: check whether your disk is full | 00:06 |
| ally_oxoxo | omg the repos are not enabled! | 00:06 |
| LjL | IndyGunFreak: i think it is on Gutsy, anyway, if that package isn't found, there has to be a reason. | 00:06 |
| Shadow147 | ally_oxoxo use gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:06 |
| ally_oxoxo | why is it not enabled by default? that is silly | 00:06 |
| LjL | QED | 00:06 |
| Varon_Gitano | ready | 00:06 |
| LjL | ally_oxoxo: pastebin that sources.list please | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | ljl lol, no disputing that.., i didn't realize we weren't dealing w/ Gutsy.' | 00:07 |
| genii | soundray: Also if root recently ran X in their directory | 00:07 |
| Varon_Gitano | NOW? that's all? | 00:07 |
| soundray | Varon_Gitano: now restart your computer | 00:07 |
| Shadow147 | ally_oxoxo well just enable all of the disabled repos | 00:07 |
| Varon_Gitano | ok c ya and thanks so much | 00:07 |
| danand | inazad: Thats quite involved in a lot of instances - requires reconfiguring and reinstalling the software your router runs on - usually busybox - and including the ssh server in the configuration | 00:07 |
| inazad | soundray, a linksys router ? | 00:07 |
| mwe | creature: oh you need a semicolon | 00:07 |
| LjL | Shadow147: that's a pretty bad idea | 00:07 |
| Shadow147 | ally_oxoxo then try to install it | 00:07 |
| inazad | danand, ok | 00:07 |
| soundray | genii: good point, thanks | 00:07 |
| Eyemean | does anyone know why the java buttons in hotmail wont work pls? | 00:07 |
| VOiCi | Anyone know a fix to libmyspell problem with firefox(crash)? ?? | 00:07 |
| ally_oxoxo | # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: | 00:07 |
| twistedbeatfreek | in appearance prefrences ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work???? | 00:07 |
| ally_oxoxo | Ok i see now | 00:07 |
| mwe | creature: two in fact | 00:07 |
| dfeeser | I was wondering what version of Ubuntu someone would recommend to install my laptop. The steps are 768k ram, Pentium 1.6 M (not dual core), 40GB HD, ATI Radeon 64 or 128 card | 00:08 |
| creature | mwe: Nah, there's no post-install hook in apt. | 00:08 |
| mindframe | soundray, disk is definitely not full | 00:08 |
| creature | man apt.conf for details. | 00:08 |
| LjL | ally_oxoxo: you probably installed Ubuntu while not having a working Internet connection. pastebin that list. | 00:08 |
| mwe | really | 00:08 |
| Darkmystere | is there a GUI for mkntfs i dont want to mess up with those commands.. | 00:08 |
| creature | Yep. | 00:08 |
| creature | It's Post-Invoke that I'm after. | 00:08 |
| soundray | inazad: Linksys routers come with various operating systems, some based on Linux, some on others, but none on Ubuntu, so it's offtopic. | 00:08 |
| mwe | creature: google returns numerous hits though | 00:08 |
| inazad | ok | 00:08 |
| soundray | mindframe: can you log in on a text console? | 00:08 |
| TrichomeKid | okay, did I hear someone say that the Flash installer was broken? | 00:09 |
| Shadow147 | LjL well I don't want any packages not accessible which I made need | 00:09 |
| twistedbeatfreek | in appearance prefrences ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work???? | 00:09 |
| LjL | !flash > TrichomeKid (TrichomeKid, see the private message from Ubotu) | 00:09 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, ok I'm updating my BIOS. | 00:09 |
| mindframe | soundray, im ssh'd into it right now | 00:09 |
| creature | mwe: If it's there, it's not documented in the manual. | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | what problem did she have that required a clean install? | 00:09 |
| danand | inazad: Possible though - seen some magazine articles on doing just that - Hack It!! :) | 00:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp So I take it you've come across the kernel bug report with respect to this machine? I assume that since you knew to use the hpet=disable boot option to get it to install. The bug report I'm speaking about is here: Dell Optiplex 320 | 00:09 |
| mwe | creature: 'DPkg::Post-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/bin/update-menus;"};' would be the correct syntax | 00:09 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, from 1.1.9 to 1.1.11 | 00:09 |
| TrichomeKid | x-chat kind of stinks .... | 00:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp oops. Here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/138305 | 00:09 |
| twistedbeatfreek | in appearance prefrences ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work???? | 00:09 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, yes, I was reading that one :) | 00:09 |
| Talim_1979 | Help! I've got a large XFS partition using LVM, it suddenly became unreadable.. I ran xfs_check but it fails with an Input/Output error. Is there any way to save it? Data integrity is not very important. | 00:10 |
| Aloha | !flash | 00:10 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:10 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 00:10 |
| siriusnova | guys anyone know when this bug will be fixed? | 00:10 |
| LjL | Shadow147, nonsense. the default sources.list also lists stuff like backports and proposed (commented out), which you *definitely* want to make *sure* you *really* want to enable. enabling stuff randomly is seldom a good idea. | 00:10 |

| soundray | mindframe: make sure that all files in your home directory are owned by you: 'sudo chown $USER:$USER /home/$USER' | 00:10 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, I tried to do some research on my own so's not to be entirely needy hehe :) | 00:10 |
| soundray | mindframe oops, mistake | 00:10 |
| ally_oxoxo | thanks Shadow147, LjL and Cpudan80 | 00:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp Let us pray to the almight computer lords for thy mercy. Oh dell, please bless this bios and give us the power to boot the buntu, in thy name, amen. | 00:10 |

| Dr_willis_ | TrichomeKid, try xchat-gnome if you want to see stinkage. :) | 00:10 |
| mindframe | k | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | TrichomeKid: what alternative would you suggest | 00:10 |
| Shadow147 | TrichomeKid but some people prefer xchat | 00:10 |
| LjL | !msgthebot > Aloha (Aloha, see the private message from Ubotu) | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | TrichomeKid, I actually perfer the older versions of xchat. | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | ally_oxoxo: why did you have to do a clean install? | 00:10 |
| TrichomeKid | Dr_willis_: I think thatś what I have | 00:10 |
| genii | Darkmystere: Try first to install ntfsprogs then try gparted again to see if it's using that as it's backend when available | 00:10 |
| xomp_ | lmao | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | TrichomeKid, first thing i do is install the actual xchat. | 00:10 |
| TrichomeKid | is it different? | 00:11 |
| timnik | Evening all, anyone ever done any "pinning" with apt? I've set up a preferences file like in http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Apt-Pinning_on_Ubuntu and added the extra repositories for hardy to my gutsy installation... pin-priority for gutsy is set to 700 and hardy is set to 600. Unfortunately, it now wants to update 97 packages, so it seems to be ignoring my priorities. Any ideas? | 00:11 |
| Aloha | ljL thnx | 00:11 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, I think your prayers fell on deaf ears :( Still not booting lol | 00:11 |
| LjL | !pinning > timnik (timnik, see the private message from Ubotu) never really dealt with that stuff, but here's the official documentation about it | 00:11 |
| mindframe | soundray, done. still happening | 00:11 |
| TrichomeKid | IndyGunFreak: I don´t know many alternatives | 00:12 |
| soundray | genii: have you got another suggestion for mindframe? | 00:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp From the bug report: I may be able to offer some testing assistance in this area. I'm running gutsy on an optiplex 320, but I had to install feisty and upgrade. I am running the 2.6.20.16 kernel, because no 2.6.22.* kernels will boot. | 00:12 |
| Shadow147 | LjL well I do alot of compiling testing so I need all packages accessible just incase I need I can go grab it from the repos and not having to go dig for it | 00:12 |
| twistedbeatfreek | in appearance prefrences ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work???? | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | TrichomeKid: thats my point, Xchat is a fine client..., unless you live CLI, then there's irssi | 00:12 |
| soundray | mindframe: can you see anything interesting in $HOME/.xsession-errors ? | 00:12 |
| TrichomeKid | I bet ChatZilla is better tho... and Konversation has 4 stars | 00:12 |
| bahman | Hi everybody | 00:12 |
| LjL | Shadow147: you may have your very good reason, however that's *not* a good reason to recommend the same to others. | 00:12 |
| timnik | LjL, I've read all that on pinning, and followed everywhere it pointed too, but it won't work. | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | konversation?...lol, i found it unusable. | 00:12 |
| genii | soundray: To login to console, then do something akin to : sudo chown -R correctusername:correctusergroup /home/theusername | 00:12 |
| soundray | genii: done | 00:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp And in your bios, have you tried disabling floppy, legacy usb support, hmm... anything else that can be disabled and still alllow the computer to boot. | 00:13 |
| TrichomeKid | well, i just started using linux yesterday so I dont know | 00:13 |
| bahman | How could I speedup my ubuntu booting?! And also do I need a difagrimenting program?! | 00:13 |
| TrichomeKid | its not recognizing apostrephes sooo | 00:13 |
| genii | soundray: Ok lemme check scroll first | 00:13 |
| creature | mwe: Adding the semicolons and making it Post-Invoke makes it work, thanks. If you've got a Launchpad account, do you want to add a note giving the fix? | 00:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | TrichomeKid: as log as you're not using Pidgin for IRC, you're probably ok | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | I use chatzilla a lot also. | 00:13 |
| Shadow147 | TrichomeKid didn't I want anything fancy just a simple IRC chat program | 00:13 |
| soundray | bahman: you don't need to defragment | 00:13 |
| Shadow147 | LjL I will remember that | 00:13 |
| twistedbeatfreek | in appearance prefrences ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work???? | 00:13 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, yeah I have floppy disabled and I don't see any legacy usb available | 00:13 |
| LjL | bahman: 1) by temporarily putting "profile" in your kernel parameters 2) no, unless you really mess up with your disk there's no real need for defragmenting | 00:13 |
| soundray | bahman: and check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189192 | 00:14 |
| nemilar | soundray: I'm convinced that ext3 does need to be defragmented, it's all just a big conspiracy | 00:14 |
| Talim_1979 | does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair an XFS partition with read/write errors? | 00:14 |
| TrichomeKid | iĺl be back with a better client :) | 00:14 |
| bahman | soundray why could you refer me?! | 00:14 |
| genii | mindframe: : What was the last thing you did before it stopped working? | 00:14 |
| Darkmystere | Yay it worked | 00:14 |
| Darkmystere | =) | 00:14 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, does it look like my only salvation is to install fiesty and upgrade then? heh | 00:14 |
| soundray | nemilar: yeah, and the CIA didn't shoot JFK. He's still alive | 00:14 |
| creature | Talim_1979: read/write errors would be a hardware error, rather than a filesystem error. :( | 00:14 |
| LjL | !defrag | soundray, nemilar, bahman | 00:14 |
| genii | Darkmystere: Good | 00:14 |
| bahman | soundray Really thanks ;) | 00:14 |
| ubotu | soundray, nemilar, bahman: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 00:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | xomp I've found a bunch more threads. And no one can get a 2.6.22 kernel to boot on this thing. | 00:14 |
| mindframe | genii, i just rebooted. .nvidia-settings-rc is causing a lot of errors. can i wipe that file out? | 00:15 |
| Shadow147 | nemilar I was told ext3 don't need to be defragmented | 00:15 |
| xomp_ | ArthurArchnix, figures I would be cursed with a hoaky system LOL :D | 00:15 |
| Talim_1979 | creature: yes, I think the drive may have bad sectors.. but it's not completely dead | 00:15 |
| Cyclonut | quick question-I am writing a bash script that executes commands in a protected directory. I do not want to have to type my password when I execute the script. How might I achieve this? | 00:15 |
| Darkmystere | is it safe to Resize Windows from gparted while on the thing and then add it to ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| LjL | Shadow147: see the above | 00:15 |
| twistedbeatfreek | in appearance prefrences ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work???? | 00:15 |
| LjL | Darkmystere, resizing partitions with data on them is *never* safe. | 00:15 |
| creature | Talim_1979: First thing to do is make a backup, if you can. Burn stuff to DVD, copy it to another a drive, a USB pen, anything. | 00:15 |
| genii | mindframe: Ah, then that may be part of the issue. Did you try something like installing the nvidia drivers by compiling or something just before this started happening? | 00:16 |
| bahman | LjL How could I put "profile" in my kernel parameters?! | 00:16 |

| [Triona] | it gets as far as displaying the gdm login screen, and then the X server dies | 00:42 |
| soundray | illriginal: 'cat abc.mpg.001 abc.mpg.002, abc.mpg.003 >abc.mpg' | 00:42 |
| soundray | illriginal: oops, mistake | 00:42 |
| Shadow147 | solexios that will allow you to scan for for PCI mods | 00:43 |
| soundray | illriginal: oops, I shouldn't have copied that comma you put in | 00:43 |
| neeto | [Triona]: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 00:43 |
| Jangari | nautilus is completely buggy, every time i try to do something it does that 'power down' thing where the window dims. Any idea what's going on? | 00:43 |
| solexious | Shadow: I got : ls: modprobe: No such file or directory | 00:43 |
| illriginal | so no commas? | 00:43 |
| soundray | illriginal: unless that second filename really ends with a comma | 00:43 |
| jay-oh-en | anybody know why i would get this E: sun-java5-doc: subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) | 00:43 |

| Jangari | every single time i go to a new directory it does it | 00:43 |
| un0p | soundray, errm, that might work with some players -- but that certainly wouldnt make a legal .mpg file | 00:43 |
| kitche | Jangari: turn off compiz and it won't do that | 00:43 |
| illriginal | sweet, thank you sir. | 00:43 |
| gaurdro | any ideas? | 00:43 |
| illriginal | gimme a min, gonna try it out | 00:43 |
| TilRock | can anyone tell me how I disable these annoying little yellow information boxes that pop up when I put my mouse over an icon? | 00:43 |

| ScreaminIke | i'm having problems with miro. it won't download. anything. i think the problem is my net admin's filtering software has identified miro as malicious (in some way) and has blocked it from downloading.... is there any way to change the application name in the packets so that it doesn't know that it's miro and thinx it's... firefox? | 00:44 |
| solexious | cool, ty | 00:44 |
| TilRock | they look like little post-it notes | 00:44 |
| [Triona] | neeto: just a minute, need to install lynx and gdm so I can pastebin | 00:44 |
| TrichomeKid | okay, i changed the font size in Firefox to like 20 yet some fonts still remain extremely small | 00:44 |
| xsfr | is there a way i can login as root so i can copy files..etc | 00:44 |
| TrichomeKid | what gievs | 00:44 |
| Junaos | !sudo | xsfr | 00:44 |
| ubotu | xsfr: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 00:44 |
| agentmarmite | aaah first skype on ubuntu, then supreme commander forged alliance... hehe | 00:44 |
| astro76 | xsfr: from your question I'm guessing you want a file manager as root... you can do that with 'gksudo nautilus' | 00:45 |
| SnakeArtworX | So, anyone had such problem before? I'm talking about messy screen in Nexuiz? | 00:45 |

| gh0st | no, i mean what should i write in the fstab as options? | 00:46 |
| kitche | Linuxishawt: do you have X installed since minimal install won't install it | 00:46 |

| dfeeser | I was wondering what version of Ubuntu someone would recommend to install my laptop. The steps are 768k ram, Pentium 1.6 M (not dual core), 40GB HD, ATI Radeon 64 or 128 card | 00:47 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: what do you get from a 'sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture /var/cache/apt/archives/skype*2.0*deb'? Pastebin if there are errors | 00:47 |

| Jangari | i'll give it a go, konquere sh|ts me | 00:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jangari: tunar is really good, i like it a lot | 00:48 |
| jay-oh-en | why does this happen (please look at it) http://pastebin.com/m6cf3a6d1 | 00:48 |
| illriginal | soundray... that worked beautifully!! | 00:48 |
| TrichomeKid | dfeeser: the latest would be fien. | 00:48 |
| illriginal | thank you very much :D | 00:48 |
| thinh1977 | ls | 00:48 |
| TrichomeKid | fine, that is. | 00:48 |
| Enron | genii I think the prob is it see's eth1 not eth0 | 00:48 |
| Smegzor | I just had a kernel panic (blinking capslock and scroll lock). Will the problem be logged somewhere? Its working fine after a reboot. I was in a remote X session (XDMC) at the time. | 00:48 |
| Enron | hmm why does linux always do that | 00:48 |
| Jangari | man, no way on windows would you be able to replace your file browser, i love it! | 00:48 |
| dfeeser | TRich: would you suggest Xubuntu or just Ubuntu given the low 768k ram? | 00:49 |
| === bmoney is now known as shrug | ||
| wyclif | Jangari: what are you using now? | 00:49 |
| shrug | !ot | 00:49 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:49 |
| genii | Enron: OK there is a fix, in udev for this. 1 minute I'll look it up | 00:49 |
| soundray | illriginal: is it playing across the file boundaries? | 00:49 |
| Jangari | right now, thunar | 00:49 |
| DG19075 | is running Ubuntu 7.10 in 512 k | 00:49 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: 768 K? veeery low, Xubuntu wouldn'te ven do it | 00:49 |
| TrichomeKid | defeeser: im running 512 on this machine... | 00:49 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52951/plain/ | 00:49 |
| Jangari | up until a minute ago, nautilus | 00:49 |
| TrichomeKid | ive never used xubuntu, sorry | 00:49 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: unless you mean MB? | 00:49 |
| TrichomeKid | oh, wait... | 00:49 |
| TrichomeKid | 768 MB, i assumed. | 00:49 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: as it says, the package you installed is only an installer of the java docs from sun, you have to manually download the zip from the given website | 00:50 |
| wyclif | Jangari i find fluxbox + thunar + conky is a really nice combo | 00:50 |
| dfeeser | oh yes i am sorry - 768M :) | 00:50 |
| DG19075 | 512 MB here and 7.10 runs fine | 00:50 |
| TrichomeKid | yea 768KB wouldnt get you passed the boot screen :P | 00:50 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: okay, that hasn't worked. -- You enable the Medibuntu repository, correct? | 00:50 |
| TrichomeKid | DG19075: me as well... runs good | 00:50 |
| pyrops | hi, i still cant get my sound to work. i installed the ALSA base drivers and then rebooted, however after it says there are no GStream plugins?! what should i do? | 00:50 |
| [Triona] | I've got 128MB in here... | 00:51 |
| Jangari | fluxbox? conky? | 00:51 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: 768 K is like DOS era :) anyway, actually 512 MB is a little more than enough for Ubuntu, Xubuntu on 768 MB would do very nicely | 00:51 |
| Jangari | !fluxbox | 00:51 |
| ubotu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 00:51 |
| genii | Enron: edit with admin privelege /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and remove the eth0 and eth1 entries. After a reboot it should be again eth0 as originally | 00:51 |
| Jangari | !conky | 00:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about conky - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:51 |
| dfeeser | haha whoops. Thing is Gnome takes forever to load on this laptop. Opening up a terminal takes 10 seconds | 00:51 |
| Enron | ty | 00:51 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: you mean in software sources? | 00:51 |
| dfeeser | just seems slow for the specs | 00:51 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: yes | 00:51 |
| DG19075 | rruns well and very solisd too | 00:51 |
| wyclif | Jangari conky is a system monitor | 00:51 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, so why does it do that? shouldi have to | 00:51 |
| TrichomeKid | is there a pre-installed Hardware Monitor on v7.10? | 00:51 |
| TrichomeKid | or one i can install that checks cpu temp, fan speed, etc? | 00:52 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: probably has to do with licensing terms from sun | 00:52 |
| scguy318 | TrichomeKid: not preinstalled, but there is sensors-applet | 00:52 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: all the 3rd party boxes r ticked. i haven;t added any myself, i tried a skype server this morning but it made it crash so i deleted it, so its just the default 4 | 00:52 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: is Compiz running? | 00:52 |
| noelferreira | LjL, i have installed and configured voipbuster in windows. what should i do now in ubuntu. what sip client should i use and how can i configure it? | 00:52 |
| TrichomeKid | scguy318: is there a specific name? | 00:52 |
| scguy318 | noelferreira: I hear Ekiga is good | 00:52 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: if you take a look at /usr/share/doc/sun-java5-doc , there's probably a README that explains | 00:52 |
| scguy318 | TrichomeKid: sensors-applet is the package that gives you a GNOME panel applet | 00:52 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: also the "ubuntu software" section is all ticked | 00:52 |
| noelferreira | scguy318, and how can i configure it? | 00:53 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: give me two minutes to test the medibuntu skype version on my own 64bit machine | 00:53 |
| TrichomeKid | thanks | 00:53 |
| TilRock | can anyone tell me how to shut off those information text boxes that pop up when you hold your mouse pointer over an icon or menu item? | 00:53 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: thankyou, i hope im not too much trouble | 00:53 |
| CHOWNER | thats a tooltip | 00:53 |
| dfeeser | scguy: i installed XUbuntu desktop on top of the Ubuntu one..would a fresh install of XUbuntu help? To answer your question, I dont think it is since i am running xfce, but i do not know how to check. | 00:53 |
| TilRock | yes, tooltip | 00:53 |
| TrichomeKid | gDesklets works well? | 00:53 |
| jscinoz_ | linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 is a SMP kernel yes? | 00:53 |
| CHOWNER | does M$ have a hold on the name tooltip | 00:53 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, if i dont do that will my java still work | 00:53 |
| PointyThingsHurt | Anyone know why my Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock lights do not work? | 00:53 |
| SnakeArtworX | Ok,there was no answer for my question:( I will try to ask differently: What does it mean "7DrawQ ResetClipArea: not in 2d rendering state!" ? | 00:54 |
| CHOWNER | I would guess its your app doing that | 00:54 |
| scguy318 | jscinoz_: the Ubuntu kernel is built with SMP support I believe, yes | 00:54 |
| CHOWNER | you mean on desktop? | 00:54 |
| jscinoz_ | how can i check how many cores the os is detecting? | 00:54 |
| CHOWNER | count the penguins @ boot time | 00:54 |
| TilRock | on desktop menu's | 00:54 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: yes, that's only the doc package. if you install sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-plugin (for i386 java) you're good to go. Or install the sun-java6-* | 00:54 |
| scguy318 | jscinoz_: probably check System Monitor I suppose | 00:54 |
| [Triona] | jscinoz_: less /proc/cpuinfo | 00:54 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: it may, since the default Xubuntu install gives you a lesser set of packages | 00:55 |
| TrichomeKid | PointyThingsHurt: Try goign to System > Preferences > Keyboard | 00:55 |
| LjL | noelferreira, you can use the one you prefer... if you're in GNOME, there's Ekiga and linphone that i know of. as for configuring, the voipbuster site has instructions... | 00:55 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, kk | 00:55 |
| CHOWNER | can you see penguins at bootup or in shell? | 00:55 |
| === CHOWNER is now known as chowner | ||
| TrichomeKid | select an appropriate ¨Layout¨ | 00:55 |
| dfeeser | scguy318: is there a way to check to see if Compiz is running in xfce? | 00:55 |
| wyclif | whoever asked about tooltips? | 00:55 |
| wyclif | use gconf-editor | 00:55 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: okay, skype works a treat here. I got version 1.4 from the medibuntu repository. Do you want me to guide you through enabling that & fixing the conflicting packages thing? | 00:56 |
| TilRock | me | 00:56 |
| TilRock | ok, I'll give that a shot | 00:56 |
| wyclif | to disable tooltips globally... | 00:56 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: ps -A | grep compiz | 00:56 |
| scguy318 | dfeeser: if nothing shows up Compiz is not running | 00:56 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: id be very grateful if u would. | 00:56 |
| jscinoz_ | [Triona] where in that does it say how many cores it has. | 00:56 |
| chowner | yaay, I was gonna ask you what window manager you were running | 00:56 |
| dfeeser | thanks | 00:56 |
| wyclif | gconf-editor > apps > panel > global untick tooltips_enabled | 00:56 |
| chowner | looks like Gnome | 00:56 |
| noelferreira | LjL, so why i needed to install voipbuster in windows? it was no enough create an account in the site? | 00:57 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: go to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and scroll down to "Adding the Repositories" | 00:57 |
| [Triona] | jscinoz_: it should list each core in that file | 00:57 |
| EtherNomad | I just switched my wireless network from wpa2 to wep and then back again. I tried getting gutsy to connect to the wep network. Now it seems like wireless is entirely disabled... | 00:57 |

| jscinoz_ | and gnome-system-monitor is only showing one too >_< | 00:57 |
| jscinoz_ | wtf? | 00:57 |
| jscinoz_ | any ideas why? | 00:57 |
| LjL | noelferreira: last time i checked, there wasn't a way to create an account from the site. | 00:57 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: ok | 00:57 |
| noelferreira | ah ok | 00:57 |
| noelferreira | lol | 00:57 |
| nickrud | !beryl | Rich4 | 00:57 |
| scguy318 | jscinoz_: something in BIOS disabling the other core? if the cores are detected > 1 CPU would show up | 00:57 |
| ubotu | Rich4: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 00:57 |
| LjL | noelferreira: but yeah... i did most definitely tell you that the Windows part was just to create the account. | 00:57 |

| nickrud | !compiz > Rich4 (see pm) | 00:57 |
| genii | Enron: You rebooted? | 00:58 |
| jscinoz_ | scguy318,would it matter im using the -386 kernel instead of -generic? | 00:58 |

| genii | Enron: Also you may have legacy file of /etc/iftab (NOT /etc/fstab) with old MAC entries | 00:59 |
| LjL | noelferreira: no, it's really just that they want you to use their program for some reason (although they allow SIP for some reason... seems slightly inconsistent, but oh well) | 00:59 |
| jscinoz_ | hmm apparently -386 doesnt have smp | 00:59 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: now copy and paste the 'wget' line that follows (for the GPG key) | 00:59 |
| jscinoz_ | time to swap kernel >_< | 00:59 |
| jscinoz_ | peace out guys | 00:59 |
| scguy318 | jscinoz_: it might, uname -a would tell if you SMP support doesn't exist | 00:59 |

| chowner | how is U ver 6.06 | 01:01 |
| illriginal | it's playin smoothly. | 01:01 |
| chowner | live cd | 01:01 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: now this one probably will generate errors... 'sudo apt-get install skype' | 01:01 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: feed them to me via pastebin please ;) | 01:02 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: ok, one sec | 01:02 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: probably you may have to use ndiswrapper to get it working | 01:02 |

| [Triona] | (email to blogger, yay) | 01:03 |
| Rich4 | can I have compiz fusion on gnome? | 01:03 |
| Starnestommy | Rich4: yes | 01:04 |
| LjL | wyclif: by giving relevant answers (in a PM when appropriate, i.e. often) to people's questions. the "!hi" factoid really is intended to be used for people who seem to expect to be greeted before going on and asking their question. | 01:04 |
| Jangari | how do i change the default file browser? | 01:04 |
| nickrud | xen_: start with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , and log out and back in. That should get you the default ati setup | 01:04 |
| wyclif | LjL and that's EXACTLY how I used it. | 01:04 |
| Rich4 | Would I get help setting that up or must I go to #compiz | 01:04 |
| LjL | wyclif: uhm, no, you used it on people who hadn't said anything at all. | 01:04 |
| wyclif | LjL IOW, those users just joined. | 01:04 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: 'sudo apt-get -f install' and errors to pastebin again pls | 01:04 |
| mith_ | does anyone have any idea ? | 01:04 |
| LjL | wyclif: ok, look, just don't use it like that. | 01:05 |
| Starnestommy | Rich4: you could ask here, but #compiz-fusion may be of more use | 01:05 |
| EtherNomad | ok, let me rephrase...Network Manager does not list wireless as an option. two options are "Wired Network" (which is grayed out) and "Manual configuration..." | 01:05 |
| msdtux | I try to install feisty server on my new PC. It stuck on 85 % (after selection which software I would like to install, I choose LAMP)... | 01:05 |
| wyclif | LjL I think I'll use it the way it's supposed to be used, kthxbai | 01:05 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: did you read my responses? :) | 01:05 |
| Rich4 | can I get help on setting up gnome? | 01:05 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: you'll probably have to use ndiswrapper to get it working | 01:05 |
| LjL | wyclif: that is, not as you just did. correct? | 01:05 |
| soundray | wyclif: you do have a subordination problem, don't you ;) | 01:05 |
| portablejim | I have gotten myself into a mess by following a thread for Breezy then getting halfway through it and fining out it is not for Gutsy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75443&p=408416 is the post and I have not completed step 10. Could someone help me undo what I have done. | 01:05 |
| LjL | msdtux: feisty? why don't you install gutsy? | 01:05 |
| Rich4 | I just put 7.1 on with a live cd | 01:05 |
| sybariten | i have installed ubuntu live on a USB memory of 1Gb | 01:05 |
| EtherNomad | its been working for months until 30 minutes ago | 01:06 |
| wyclif | soundray i just don't tolerate bullying dude | 01:06 |
| astro76 | wyclif: you should probably listen to the channel ops | 01:06 |
| hanophix33 | can someone tell me how to speed up desktop effects | 01:06 |
| mith_ | please? its probably pretty simple, and seems to me like its ubuntu not functioning right not my error | 01:06 |
| sybariten | followed the pendrive linux tutorial, have 750 for the OS and 250 megs for persistent changes | 01:06 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: oh, in that case you probably should pastebin dmesg | 01:06 |
| Linuxishawt | Maybe someone can help me out with smbclient, I can connect to my C$ on my Server 2003 box and at the prompt I can ls but when I try to cd to another folder I get a NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND error , any suggestions? | 01:06 |
| scguy318 | hanophix33: turn off effects you dont want, get a better video card | 01:06 |
| msdtux | Ljl, I have DVD repo of feisty, so I don't want to waste theme. I have limited bandwith. | 01:06 |
| astro76 | Rich4: what do you need help with? | 01:06 |
| sybariten | i think the 250 got full very quickly... the question is, can i somehow get rid of gnome and use xfce instead? | 01:06 |
| EtherNomad | please clarify for irc noob | 01:06 |
| sybariten | would i need to resize partitions? | 01:06 |
| soundray | wyclif: there was no bullying. You were being taught how to use the bot. Not on newcomers who haven't said anything. Just accept it. | 01:06 |
| nickrud | wyclif: and if you want an example of bullying (never seen LjL do that) visit #debian | 01:06 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: type lspci > output.txt in terminal, open that output.txt and !pastebin it | 01:07 |
| LjL | tsss. back on topic | 01:07 |
| EtherNomad | roger that | 01:07 |
| wyclif | soundray you have trouble comprehending english? i'm saying i used it exactly the way it's supposed to be used. capiche? | 01:07 |
| Smegzor | Where do Windows shares get mounted? I have two that show up in Places but aren't accessible to some apps. | 01:07 |
| mith_ | ive tried to manually install flash, and it tells me /usr/lib/mozilla is not a valid directory | 01:07 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: sorry for the slowness - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52954/plain/ | 01:07 |
| scguy318 | Smegzor: nowhere | 01:07 |
| scguy318 | Smegzor: unless you mount it yourself with smbfs | 01:07 |
| mith_ | so does ubuntu put that somewhere non standard ? | 01:07 |
| jnascimento | Smegzor: type mount you ll see some fat mounted | 01:07 |
| Rich4 | astro76: I'm rather flustered having had to reinstall windows/ubuntu/gentoo after the first time when gentoo erased my grub | 01:07 |
| hanophix33 | scguy318: no workarounds? | 01:08 |
| jnascimento | Smegzor: or ntfs | 01:08 |
| jimbolina | excuse please to help wireless card connecting on gusty | 01:08 |
| scguy318 | hanophix33: I'm not wholly familiar with Compiz but that's what I think | 01:08 |
| jnascimento | jimbolina: bring it on baby | 01:08 |
| mith_ | i could just really use some help with why ubuntu doesnt know flash is there, although it installed it | 01:08 |
| gh0st | i managed to mount my ext3 drive through fstab, but now i can only read it as user !? (i set options 'user' and 'rw' though!!!) | 01:08 |
| mith_ | is there something non-standard or special i have to do to get flash working ? | 01:08 |
| Rich4 | astro76: as I ran kubuntu in my previous install, I'd like to run gnome this time | 01:08 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: sorry, this is a bit drawn out... 'sudo apt-get install skype-common' | 01:08 |
| nickrud | Smegzor: the ones you mount with Places are sort of virtual mounts, only apps that use the gnome virtual file system can see those, like gedit, the pdf viewer, and some others | 01:09 |
| SnakeArtworX | Well,do I ever get even a small reply for any of my questions asked? Even simple "No" will be OK,so I will know to not wait ages for reply. | 01:09 |
| scguy318 | !brokenflash | mith_ | 01:09 |
| ubotu | mith_: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 01:09 |
| astro76 | mith_: did you install it recently | 01:09 |
| scguy318 | !patience | SnakeArtworX | 01:09 |
| ubotu | SnakeArtworX: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:09 |
| Rich4 | astro76: I need help in installing it onto a generally raw install of gutsy | 01:09 |
| mith_ | astro76: i just installed ubuntu last night | 01:09 |
| jimbolina | I installed gusty a whil back and now the card wireless stopped working even through the card worked in feisty | 01:09 |
| astro76 | SnakeArtworX: people will not reply if they don't know the answer | 01:09 |
| EtherNomad | ok, I got the lspci part... adding < output.txt causes error | 01:09 |
| Smegzor | nickrud: yeah I figured that. oh well.. I'll just have to use different tools for some things. | 01:09 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: no problem, i really appreciate the time you're showing me. i pasted and pressed enter. it looks good, no errors, should i pastelog? | 01:09 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: > output.txt | 01:09 |
| astro76 | Rich4: what do you mean? did you install some other ubuntu flavor first? if so then just install the ubuntu-desktop package | 01:10 |
| soundray | SnakeArtworX: if nobody knows an answer, nobody will answer. Just repeat your question after >10 minutes, for the people who joined in the meantime | 01:10 |
| * EtherNomad smacks head in shame | 01:10 | |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: we're not taking the non-existent output.txt into standard in, we're taking dmesg's standard out and redirecting to output.txt | 01:10 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: *pastebin rather | 01:10 |
| noelferreira | LjL, can you tell me where are the instrucions in the voipbuster site. i can't find them. | 01:10 |
| gh0st | Hello, I mounted my ext3 HD through fstab, but now i can only READ it, no writing only with root !? (i set options 'user' and 'rw' though!!!) | 01:10 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: then just pastebin the stuff | 01:10 |
| bthornton | I'm about to put 32-bit Ubuntu (Gutsy) on an AMD Turion64 laptop with 2GB of RAM. Will the 32-bit version be able to utilize the full 2GB of RAM? | 01:10 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: no, just retry 'sudo apt-get install skype' | 01:10 |
| SnakeArtworX | ubotu: Success! Someone has answered my calling. Yay! | 01:10 |
| astro76 | bthornton: yes | 01:10 |
| nickrud | Smegzor: I don't use smb much at all, but many people like fusesmb | 01:10 |
| mith_ | i see its a known problem.. | 01:10 |
| scguy318 | SnakeArtworX: keep in mind that ubotu is a bot | 01:10 |
| Rich4 | astro76: I was running kubuntu before, though after installing gentoo it erased my grub list | 01:11 |
| tifine | does any body know any software to blur-up in ubuntu ? | 01:11 |
| Rich4 | astro76: I reinstalled everything, and want to try gnome this time | 01:11 |
| Smegzor | I tried nfs but it causes my pc to freeze on any file over 1gb | 01:11 |
| mith_ | the problem that i run into, is even when i try to install flash off adobe's site | 01:11 |
| ehom1 | test | 01:11 |
| astro76 | Rich4: so why not just install ubuntu? | 01:11 |
| mith_ | it tells me /usr/lib/mozilla is not valid | 01:11 |
| jimbolina | so do I go back on feisty where card works? | 01:11 |
| mith_ | when i clearly see the directory is there | 01:11 |
| SnakeArtworX | scguy318: but appears like it has a "Ghost" | 01:11 |
| mith_ | and has files in it | 01:11 |
| astro76 | Rich4: plain ubuntu is gnome | 01:11 |
| Rich4 | astro76: it is installed. I'm on the installed copy of it | 01:12 |
| SnakeArtworX | or even a AI | 01:12 |
| mith_ | ubuntu says its not there | 01:12 |
| scguy318 | SnakeArtworX: because I told it to direct a factoid to you :) | 01:12 |
| jimmygoon | Anyone here use rEFIt? | 01:12 |
| Rich4 | astro76: really eh | 01:12 |
| Linuxishawt | thanks to everyone who helped me out today, I now have KDE 4 running on top of a ubuntu minimal install | 01:12 |
| EtherNomad | it all makes sense once I slow down and pay attention... | 01:12 |
| scguy318 | SnakeArtworX: ubotu just responds to factoids | 01:12 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52956/plain/ | 01:12 |
| scguy318 | mith_: have you tried the deb solution pointed to by the ubotu factoid? | 01:12 |
| EtherNomad | now where did I put that spare cat5 cable... | 01:12 |
| Rich4 | astro76: could you direct me to instructions in getting compiz-fusion | 01:12 |
| gh0st | how can i change the user rights with fstab? | 01:12 |
| kbs | hello, I have a sony vaio that used to have sound on feisty, now on gutsy it has no sound, none of the posts on helped solve the problem, but I did notice something that might help someone fix the problem cause I surely can't, pressing the mute button now triggers MWheele down action ... might this be relevant? | 01:12 |
| scguy318 | EtherNomad: trying to install ndiswrapper? it should be on your Ubuntu CD if you have it | 01:13 |
| astro76 | !compiz | Rich4 | 01:13 |
| ubotu | Rich4: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 01:13 |
| whileimhere | has the flash been fixed for firefox? | 01:13 |
| nickrud | whileimhere: nope | 01:13 |
| dfeeser | would compiling heavy used applications from source speed them up? Also, is there much benifit to recompiling the kernel even if all hardware works? | 01:13 |
| jimbolina | or cans gusty work with card if like feisty in that part? | 01:13 |
| magic_ninja | how do you reinstall a program with apt-get | 01:13 |
| hanophix33 | something is eating up my cpu, system monitor isnt showing what it is | 01:13 |
| whileimhere | thanks :( | 01:13 |
| scguy318 | whileimhere: not really, but !brokenflash has a workaround you may do | 01:13 |
| genii | gh0st: You mean allow regular users to mount drives by editing the fstab? Yes | 01:13 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash > whileimhere (see the blue text in the link) | 01:13 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: no change then -- but it's not saying why it won't install skype-common. Let's force that file directly: 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/skype-common_1.4.0.118repack-0medibuntu1_all.deb' | 01:14 |
| genii | gh0st: put as option users | 01:14 |
| gh0st | genii: i did | 01:14 |
| nickrud | !test > nickrud | 01:14 |
| gh0st | still no access | 01:14 |
| scguy318 | soundray: 64-bit? | 01:14 |
| whileimhere | I will just wait for the offical fix | 01:14 |
| gh0st | only as root | 01:14 |
| whileimhere | I wonder when it will be | 01:14 |
| SnakeArtworX | So, as the Ubotu-san says,I repeat my ask: Anyone knows what could be the cause of display errors in Nexuiz under Gutsy-Gibbon 64-bit with Compiz and restricted nvidia drivers? | 01:14 |
| xen_ | who ever told me to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg it didnt work, | 01:14 |
| scguy318 | SnakeArtworX: what sort of display errors? | 01:14 |
| xen_ | omfg please i need to fix this | 01:14 |
| gh0st | genii: i will try to chown the mount dir, maybe this will help!? what do you think? | 01:15 |
| ethernomad_ | hehe | 01:15 |
| hanophix33 | does desktop effects use a lot of CPU? | 01:15 |
| nickrud | SnakeArtworX: is nexuiz a gl program? | 01:15 |
| xen_ | how do i restore the gui? | 01:15 |
| tifine | does any body know any software to blur-up in ubuntu ? | 01:15 |
| xen_ | its totally trashed, FUCK | 01:15 |
| xen_ | ;lsdafjk;lasdfdl;ksfj | 01:15 |
| xen_ | asldnvdal;kms | 01:15 |
| genii | gh0st: No, not "no access" you just yet the user has no write places on the drive but allowed to mount it. do a sudo mkdr in that drive and then make it owned by that user or else chmod 777 it | 01:15 |
| astro76 | !language | xen_ | 01:15 |
| ubotu | xen_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:15 |
| nickrud | xen_: did you do the dpkg-reconfigure I suggested? | 01:15 |
| IdleOne | !ohmy | xen_ | 01:15 |
| xen_ | yes | 01:15 |
| nickrud | xen_: what happened? | 01:15 |
| nemilar | hanophix33: no, it stresses the GPU | 01:15 |
| xen_ | nothing | 01:15 |
| SnakeArtworX | scguy318: When You look in one of directions, the screen goes messy and all of textures seems to be transparent, especially when affected by light-source | 01:15 |
| xen_ | gui still choopy | 01:15 |
| xen_ | i tried disabling restricted driver, and then re-enabled it | 01:15 |
| xen_ | still same probelm | 01:16 |
| Starnestommy | tried reinstalling X and gnome? | 01:16 |
| xen_ | im kubuntu | 01:16 |
| nickrud | xen_: did you log out and back in after running the dpkg-reconfigure? | 01:16 |
| xen_ | kde | 01:16 |
| scguy318 | SnakeArtworX: mm, not sure what the problem is then, may be graphic driver related | 01:16 |
| gh0st | genii: can't i chmod the whole drive? | 01:16 |
| xen_ | nickrud yes | 01:16 |
| Starnestommy | er, X and kde | 01:16 |
| EtherNomad | ok, tell me more about this !pastebin thing | 01:16 |
| xen_ | no, i used to run gnome, and it worked fine | 01:16 |
| Smegzor | hanophix33: I use system monitor all the time. By default it only shows your processes. In the view menu you can get it to show all processes. Tried that? | 01:16 |
| [Triona] | Anywhere else I should look to see why my X server is shutting down a few seconds after it starts? http://stephanie.lostdreams.net/2008/01/xorglog.html is the Xorg.0.log from it. | 01:16 |
| nickrud | xen_: what kind of video card? | 01:16 |
| IdleOne | !pastebin | EtherNomad | 01:16 |
| ubotu | EtherNomad: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:16 |
| genii | gh0st: chmodding the drive will not take over a reboot | 01:16 |
| xen_ | but doesnt cooperate with kde | 01:16 |
| xen_ | X800 xt ATI | 01:16 |
| xen_ | radeon | 01:16 |
| soundray | scguy318: indeed, but I tested it on mine and it's fine | 01:17 |
| xen_ | i used to have ubuntu(gnome) worked fine no probelms at all, compiz and everything | 01:17 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52957/plain/ | 01:17 |
| xen_ | but kubuntu is really bad | 01:17 |
| msdtux_ | help me guys, I try to install to new PC (Feisty Server). After I select LAMP software to install, it start installing the software needed, but I'm stuck on 85%... Help please ! | 01:17 |
| gh0st | genii: so if i understand you correctly, i should create a folder on the drive and set the permissions for me? will that work permantly? | 01:17 |
| genii | gh0st: Exactly, yes | 01:17 |
| nickrud | xen_: do you stil have gnome installed? | 01:17 |
| IdleOne | msdtux: stuck for how long? | 01:17 |
| gh0st | genii: ok, and how would i set the permissions? | 01:17 |
| unagi | !rosebud | 01:17 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rosebud - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:17 |
| xen_ | nope, i reformated and installed kuubuntu | 01:17 |
| jimbolina | I installed gusty a whil back and now the card wireless stopp working even through the card worked in feisty | 01:18 |
| scguy318 | msdtux_: what's the status message? | 01:18 |
| dfeeser | Is there much benifit to recompiling the kernel even if all hardware works? Will there be any noteable difference? | 01:18 |
| SnakeArtworX | scguy318: I never had such problem on Debian Etch with same drivers. I tried almost every solution known to me, but everytime when I execute Nexuiz I see in terminal such info :"7DrawQ ResetClipArea: not in 2d rendering state!" | 01:18 |
| xen_ | how do i remove the ati driver completely and reinstall it? | 01:18 |
| kbs | the mute button on my vaio (gutsy) triggers mouse wheel down event, and sound is not working, I would appreciate any help in getting it work | 01:18 |
| genii | gh0st: chmod -R 755 is usually good | 01:18 |
| ethernomad_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52958/ | 01:18 |
| ethernomad_ | thats pretty nifty | 01:18 |
| msdtux_ | IdleOne, its been 30 minutes... | 01:18 |
| xen_ | cause the restricted driver manager is very very buggy | 01:18 |
| nickrud | xen_: you could have just installed kubuntu-desktop , but that's off the point | 01:18 |
| bryan_ | deinstall | 01:18 |
| * Nikki85 is away: Gone away for now. | 01:18 | |
| === Nikki85 is now known as Nikki|AWAY | ||
| xen_ | no i couldnt, long story, but i needed to reinstall | 01:18 |
| xen_ | decided to choose kde instead this time | 01:18 |
| gh0st | genii: i read in some guide that you can also use chown, is that correct? | 01:18 |
| msdtux_ | scguy318, there is no status message. Just stop at 85%. | 01:19 |
| IdleOne | msdtux_: scguy318 asked what the status message is | 01:19 |
| nickrud | xen_: when you did the dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg you reverted to the regular ati driver. | 01:19 |
| soundray | agentmarmite: what does it say when you do a 'sudo apt-get install skype-common'? | 01:19 |
| genii | gh0st: You want to do both | 01:19 |
| IdleOne | ok you saw that | 01:19 |
| bryan_ | apt-get remove | 01:19 |
| xen_ | im not sure if it reverted, because the restricted driver manager doesnt tell me the correct things | 01:19 |
| gh0st | genii: ok thanks! | 01:19 |

| IdleOne | Rak000_AfK: then install 7.10 . very stable but always evolving | 01:28 |
| agentmarmite | soundray: it's all way above my head...! | 01:29 |
| ogre | Rak000_AfK: you can just install feisty and update to gutsy via update manager. thats what i'd recommend if were you. that is of course if you dont want to just make a new disk which might be quicker in the future | 01:29 |

| unop | genii, from a windows perspective, you also have to make sure that that user does not have the ability to interactively logon and you have to limit his access to that set of shares only -- while you might want to have this anyway, its not always possible, sometimes you need elevated rights to access a share and in that case it's better you have any user credentials hidden | 01:50 |

| portablejim | nickrud: I found out that the package is now linux-source. | 01:55 |
| power788 | does adding alias rm='rm -i' to my .bashrc file make it so Nautilus will ask before deleting files as well? | 01:56 |

| portablejim | nickrud: thanks for telling me. So I just delete the folders I made? | 01:56 |
| mattholimeau | IdleOne: hah, no - i meant like with a sledgehammer and $500 for a replacement or something. it's just fuzzy if i havn't had it on for like an hour. it'll go away | 01:57 |
| unop | power788, i'm not sure about nautilus | 01:57 |
| mattholimeau | IdleOne: maybe just a regular hammer and many swings... it might be more satisfying. | 01:57 |
| nickrud | portablejim: what you've done so far is simply modify the source package. you should remove the source package , then delete any remaining folders | 01:57 |

| mattholimeau | IdleOne: strange... i jump into warsow and the "fuzziness" completely goes away. | 01:59 |
| portablejim | ... step 8 part a | 02:00 |
| unop | Smegzor, you put into the credentials file, the username and password of the windows/samba user you use to connect to the remote samba machine | 02:00 |
| crdlb | pipegeek: you could try sudo apt-get --reinstall install libg1-mesa-glx then reinstall nvidia-glx-new again | 02:00 |
| nickrud | portablejim: yup, pretty much. | 02:00 |
| phantomcircuit | ah hell i know what the problem is | 02:00 |
| mattholimeau | IdleOne: then i quit out and it's back to fuzzy. i know if i sit around for an hour or so it'll gradually go away | 02:00 |

I currently have something along the lines of `iptlog | awk '{ print $2}' | grep 22`, but that wont work because its only grepping 22 in the portlist, and only displaying 22, not the whole line. Any ideas? | 02:09 |
| unistyle | like, ctrl+shift+c | 02:09 |
| cafuego | leprasmurf: ... chosoe manual/advanced partitioning and you should be fine. | 02:09 |
| humblerodent | hanophix33: I don't think that's something to "fix," if you're talking about the squares when you minimize a window....it's a graphical effect. | 02:09 |

| IdleOne | tsrk: in unrealircd the command is /restart | 02:11 |
| portablejim | secher: to unmount the system partition use the live CD. | 02:11 |
| unop | secher, use qparted from a live CD -- or use the command line to format the partition | 02:11 |

| jscinoz | Hey guys, i just recently switched from the -386 to -generic kernel to get multicore support, my system boots, however it endlessly repeats something along the lines of "device-mapper, dm-linear device lookup failed" and fails to mount my home partition, i'm writing this from the livecd, and i've tried chrooting to my normal root partition and reinstalling grub and the kernel to no avail, the partitions are all intact as verified under th | 02:32 |
| jscinoz | e live cd, and i've run fsck on all of them, what can i do? | 02:32 |
| eugman | wibou, looks good. Should I be concerned that it couldn't find resolve.conf? | 02:32 |
| jscinoz | nablet have you done the registry hack for opengl? | 02:32 |
| limp | i got a new laptop dell vostro. I'm resizing the windows partition to a smaller size to install ubuntu. But my question here is that i'd like to create a partition for storing the files so that I can access+modify them from both Operating systems. What type should i format in so that i can do that? | 02:33 |
| nablet | jscinoz: in the regedit? | 02:33 |
| unistyle | if i downloaded a driver from the internet, what should i type in the terminal to install it? | 02:33 |
| jscinoz | yes | 02:33 |
| nablet | jscinoz: yes i did | 02:33 |
| jscinoz | ok. | 02:33 |
| nemilar | limp: use NTFS | 02:33 |
| jscinoz | whats the exact error you get when you run wow | 02:33 |
| facted | kitche, where can I get that package from? it's not included in the sources in ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis_ | unistyle, totally depends on the driver and file. | 02:33 |
| nablet | jscinoz: wait i go show to u the screenshot | 02:33 |
| kitche | facted: from the repos libgettext-dev or something like that | 02:33 |

| limp | nemilar: on this computer, i can access windows files but I cannot modify them, will this happen again if I do a NFTS partition? (no OS on it, just file storing) | 02:34 |
| wibou | eugman : hummm maybe... this mean you did not receive DNS configuration... unless your other card is getting this config or that you setted it by hand, you might not be able to resolve hostname | 02:34 |
| co_basket | hey da yang tau gak config wifi atheros d ubuntu gutsy | 02:34 |

| nemilar | limp: linux can read/write ntfs, use the ntfs-config program to set those options | 02:34 |
| unistyle | i downloaded a couple differnt ones, but they are in a folder, and no indiual file will install | 02:34 |
| jscinoz | unistyle, what are the file names? | 02:34 |

| nemilar | limp: use the gparted livecd | 02:37 |

| wibou | I have a hardcore question on initrd... any real geek here? | 02:39 |
| genii | limp: If you install ntfsprogs to the livecd it will include the equivelent of mkfs.ntfs and gparted can then format in ntfs | 02:39 |
| nablet | jscinoz: alrite man | 02:39 |
| nemilar | jscinoz: I don't think anyone has an answer for you | 02:39 |
| nablet | jscinoz: i go check it :D | 02:39 |
| jscinoz | nemilar well ima keep asking because im stuck on a crippled liveCD until i can fix this device-mapper screwyness | 02:39 |
| Flannel | Some_Person: Not all of them; anyway, that theme is compatable with 2.0, you just have to change the version check to get it to work: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/discussions/comments.php?DiscussionID=711 has instructions on doing so. | 02:40 |
| nemilar | jscinoz: people are going to start complaining if you ask every two minutes...at least wait about 10 minutes or so | 02:40 |
| Flannel | MikeHuang: Whats your problem? | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | TrichomeKid, You are going from linux --> to the windows share eh? well the gnome file manager has a toolto browse shares. or you could try the fusesmb tools --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 02:40 |
| MikeHuang | i use an alternate cd | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | TrichomeKid, vista likes to block a lot of trafic also. it could be windows being a pain | 02:40 |
| TrichomeKid | yea i did the smb:// and the password isnt working | 02:40 |
| MikeHuang | the dialog just freezed, | 02:40 |
| TrichomeKid | nah, its XP | 02:40 |
| limp | genii, sorry i'm getting lost here.. So I should connect and get ntfs-config, then the option will be available in the Install program of the livecd ? or do I have to burn gparted on a cd, partition the disk, and then run the install? | 02:40 |
| Flannel | MikeHuang: which dialog? | 02:40 |
| nablet | jscinoz: i cant connect now lol T_T | 02:40 |

| foojunkie | Hello | 02:42 |
| genii | limp: As I currently understand: You are on a livecd and wanting to partition an ntfs partition then format it from inside gparted... if so, then on the livecd use the package installer to install ntfsprogs not ntfs-config. Then after it finishes run the installer and gparted should be able then to format the ntfs partition in ntfs filesystem. If you have another situation please state more clearly what it is. | 02:43 |
| nablet | jscinoz: doesnt connect, like no internet | 02:43 |

| genii | limp: The windows ext driver is very good. And it is better to use an open source filesystem as well when possible like ext2 or ext3. But a separate partition for it is a good thing, instead of sharing your / with windows, messy things could happen by accident that way | 02:51 |
| nickrud | pavs: a better answer .. ah you read though my terseness, cool | 02:51 |

| genii | limp: http://www.fs-driver.org/ is where the Windows ext driver is | 02:52 |
| limp | genii, ok thank you. I will setup that shared partition in that case. Where do I get these ext3 drivers? (what difference between ext2 and 3?) | 02:52 |
| limp | genii, thank you | 02:52 |

| newusergreen | hard drive help. hard drive is in right. as slave. i have data on it and i would like to write to the drive. i can read but not right | 02:53 |
| genii | limp: The difference between ext2 and ext3 is that ext3 has journalling, which makes it a bit faster to recover things or do filesystem checks. Otherwise they are very similar and can be converted to and from each other as well | 02:53 |

| genii | limp: If you got the wrong cd it would not get to the install part. But "x86" is just a designation for intel-based. 32 bit app should run fine even on a 64 bit XP for instance | 02:56 |
| orangey | chandler | 02:56 |
| orangey | oops : ) | 02:56 |
| limp | genii, so the correct cd would be the x86? I would rather install the appropriate installation. Thanks for your help :) | 02:57 |

| ubotu | newusergreen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 02:58 |
| genii | limp: Either one will run on a 64 bit machine so it does not really matter. If you got the x86_64 it will run, if you got the i386 it will also run | 02:58 |

| Mfaleo | just to make sure, i ram this "rm * vmware" intending to remove anything with " vmware" as a postfix, this was interpreted as rm *, correct? I saw it display every directory in there saying it couldn't delete it because its a directory, so that means any free files in the directory are removed, correct? | 03:07 |
| Tm_T | Mfaleo: noooo | 03:08 |

| cafuego | limp: shared between what and what? | 03:18 |
| limp | cafuego, Windows and linux. | 03:19 |
| cafuego | limp: FAT32 | 03:19 |
| genii | cafuego: There are a few reasons ext3 and not fat is better | 03:19 |
| cafuego | Windows can read ext2/ext3... but fat32 support is a lot more mature on both :-) | 03:19 |
| th0r | dappermuis http://dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-3.html | 03:19 |
| limp | cafuego, omg. I got NTFS, ext3, now FAT32, I am really lost now lmao | 03:19 |
| dehspehl | though if you have Windows Vista forget about ext2 support | 03:19 |
| bod_ | how can i have 2 applications using sound at the same time ,.,. eg a game and amarok,.,. my sound card doesnt support sound mixing | 03:20 |
| limp | windows XP, i'm not up for vista | 03:20 |
| genii | dehspehl: The ext driver from fs-driver.org works on vista, i use it sometimes | 03:20 |
| cafuego | limp: fat32 is the lowest common denominator. It's ubiquitous and supported by everything. However, there are file size limits and it does not support Linux file permissions. | 03:20 |
| SeveredCross | bod_: Make sure both are using ALSA would be a good step. | 03:20 |
| SeveredCross | Sometimes, you can try launching the game with the aoss wrapper | 03:20 |
| dehspehl | genii: ahh, might need that. my system is totally screwed up (only runs Vista now) | 03:20 |
| bod_ | SeveredCross, yep done that | 03:20 |
| dappermuis | th0r: thanks | 03:20 |
| bod_ | SeveredCross, i have to launch some games with cedega though | 03:21 |
| cafuego | limp: Windows can access ext2/ext3 with the driver genii mentions, but that reads and writes as root... and you're talkign windows here, I wouldn't trust it. | 03:21 |
| genii | limp: fat32 as shared used to make sense. But since it needs to be defragged and scanned occasionally and also cannot support permissions or files over 4Gb ext2 or ext3 is better for shared | 03:21 |
| Ashnal | Can anyone help me solve an issue where my sound cracles for games? | 03:21 |
| interbutt | hey how do i install lynx on ubuntu gutsy gibbon? | 03:21 |
| SeveredCross | bod_: Maybe aoss cedega? | 03:21 |
| cafuego | limp: NTFS write support in Linux is relatively new, and I've heard too many stores about people writing to it from Linxu and destroying it. | 03:22 |
| th0r | interbutt apt-get install lynx? | 03:22 |
| bazhang | !info lynx | 03:22 |
| interbutt | the text browser | 03:22 |
| Starnestommy | interbutt: sudo apt-get install lynx? | 03:22 |

| bod_ | SeveredCross, kk cheers | 03:22 |
| genii | cafuego: LOL well at least we're in agreement not to use ntfs | 03:22 |
| interbutt | oh i'll try that | 03:22 |
| cafuego | limp: So... unless you need to store files over 4Gb in size, go fat32. otherwise, ext3. | 03:22 |
| thomas_ | I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, and was wondering if there were any rules of thumb to follow for partitioning the hard drive. I'm wanting to have a separate /home partition, if that helps any. | 03:22 |
| adrakoa | hi | 03:22 |
| Matir | thomas_, how big is your hard drive? | 03:22 |
| limp | Oktanouc_, I need read/write permissions from both OS's, it has to be stable. I only use windows occasionally. Files are not over 4gb exept for large downloads | 03:23 |
| thomas_ | 160 GB | 03:23 |
| bod_ | adrakoa, hi | 03:23 |
| cafuego | genii: I've had the ext2 driver zero the odd file. it's fine for reading, but writing was not great last time I use it. | 03:23 |
| Matir | thomas_, I would probably set aside ~20-25 GB for / and the rest for /home. | 03:23 |
| interbutt | cool it's working thanks | 03:23 |
| Tixer | For some reason, everything on ubuntu that I'd do no longer works, and I get a huge error: | 03:23 |

| Tixer | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 03:23 |
| genii | cafuego: I have had no issues with it myself. | 03:23 |
| Tixer | Can anyone tell me what's wrong, and why I'm getting that error? | 03:24 |
| Ashnal | can anyone help me with crackling sound? | 03:24 |
| cafuego | genii: If I hadn't, I'd be happy to recommend it too. | 03:24 |
| thomas_ | Alright. Thank you. Since I do have a running install, would it be alright to boot into the LiveCD and move my /home partition to put the free space at the end of the drive next to my / partition? | 03:24 |
| genii | limp: If no files over 4Gb (dvd isos etc) and you will be keeping windows to occasionally go in and scandisk/defrag it then go fat32 if you like | 03:24 |

| john | hey i did sudo apt-get install lynx now how do i run it or is there still more to do? | 03:25 |

| JDLimbo | hello | 03:25 |
| bod_ | JDLimbo, hi | 03:25 |
| Starnestommy | john: type 'lynx' in a terminal | 03:25 |
| john | okay | 03:25 |
| Matir | thomas_, I'm not sure I understand | 03:25 |
| john | yay it works thanks bye | 03:25 |
| genii | limp: As you can tell this topic is still in much debate over which method is better, etc :) So just choose a way and use it, if unsatisfactory, try the other way afterwards. | 03:25 |
| JDLimbo | if I you were having problems with firefox crashing, and sometimes freezing everything along with it, what would you check first? | 03:25 |
| limp | I'll go with FAT32, so I wont have to install drivers. Is that correct? | 03:25 |
| Ashnal | bod_: well it only crackles when im running certain programs | 03:25 |
| bod_ | JDLimbo, i'd reinstall firefox from synaptic | 03:26 |
| bazhang | must one append an ampersand when running things from the terminal to retain use of said terminal? | 03:26 |
| bod_ | Ashnal, which programs? | 03:26 |
| limp | genii, I think it's an interesting debate :) I'll try with fat. I can still backup on external HD and format to ext3 then | 03:26 |
| Ashnal | bod_:games | 03:26 |
| bod_ | bazhang, YES | 03:26 |
| genii | limp: Correct, FAT32 requires no drivers on either side | 03:26 |
| bod_ | Ashnal, let me google it | 03:26 |
| bazhang | bod_: cheers! | 03:26 |
| thomas_ | I have an existing install of Ubuntu (which I'm on right now) with ~10 GB / partition, ~120 GB /home partition, and then ~20 GB free. Will it cause problems if I reboot onto the LiveCD, and use GParted to move my /home partition to after the free space to expand my / partition? | 03:27 |
| limp | genii, what about mount point? if it is shared should I leave blank? (and for my linux partition, thus, "/") | 03:27 |
| JDLimbo | bod_, ok, will try that and see if problem persists | 03:27 |
| Matir | thomas_, no, gparted should be safe, but I would (as I always would) make sure a backup is prepared | 03:27 |
| bod_ | JDLimbo, let me no wot happens | 03:28 |
| thomas_ | Of course. Thank you, Matir. | 03:28 |
| genii | limp: for a shared partition usually it will be someplace like /media/shared but since that dir is not made yet leave it blank | 03:28 |
| JDLimbo | but I meant, would it leave an error message in /var/log somewhere? | 03:28 |
| JDLimbo | it's somewhat erratic | 03:28 |
| Matir | thomas_, no problem. | 03:28 |
| genii | limp: The os should see it during first boot and mount it as a foreign filesystem automatically someplace | 03:29 |

| heatmzzr | hey i need help, ive used ubuntu for awhile, want to create a small windoes partition, do i need to do something to first allocate room for windows or just put in the disk and install, I DO NOT want to screw up ubuntu. | 03:29 |
| limp | genii, should I make a swap partition between the NTFS (windows), FAT32 (shared) and my ext3 (linux)? | 03:30 |
| genii | limp: the "/" for ubuntu root is equiv of c:\ in windows world. Earlier you should have partitioned part of a disk for this it would have been something like sda2 sda3 or such name. | 03:30 |
| bod_ | Ashnal, type alsamixer in the terminal and tell me wot u see | 03:31 |
| Ashnal | bod_ Any luck? | 03:31 |
| genii | limp: a better place for swap is at end of drive and not between two active sections with os on them | 03:31 |
| tritium | bod_: still using your AIM-speak, I see | 03:31 |
| walkies | is it possible to backport a newer version of X11 into ubuntu? | 03:31 |
| sethk | genii, in general, that's not true | 03:31 |
| sethk | genii, in general, between two partitions is better | 03:31 |
| sethk | genii, because the average head travel time is greatly reduced | 03:31 |
| Ashnal | bod_ ive already played with alsamixer a lot and currently i have all channels muted except the one that i need | 03:31 |
| sethk | genii, many systems deliberately use centered partitions for swap | 03:32 |
| SeveredCross | Centered partitions? | 03:32 |
| SeveredCross | As in, centered physically on the drive? | 03:32 |
| sethk | SeveredCross, right | 03:33 |
| genii | sethk: Traditionally the start of drive, because access times are slightly shorter there. but since swap partition gets a lot of hard use. So if it starts degrading the drive and positioned at end of one active os partition or beginning of an active os partition it's less damaging | 03:33 |

| limp | genii, ok so I don't need any swap. This is my first boot on livecd, no ubuntu installation exists yet. I added two partitions (at the "Prepare partitions" step of the installation). /dev/sda6 fat32 100gb and /dev/sda7 "/" 30gb | 03:33 |
| dappermuis | I deleted my gpg key pair using "gpg --delete-secret-and-public-key." Is there any way that I can now revoke it from the keyserver having not created a revocation certificate? | 03:33 |
| sethk | genii, well, in modern systems swap is rarely heavily used. Nevertheless, you are wrong | 03:33 |
| sethk | genii, even if heavily used, seek time greatly dwarfs other factors | 03:33 |
| SeveredCross | I have 2 GB of RAM but 3 GB of swap for hibernation purposes. | 03:33 |

| tsrk | To hybernate do you need more swap than ram? | 03:34 |
| heatmzzr | thanks | 03:34 |
| Flannel | heatmzzr: Fire up a live CD, use gparted to shrink your Ubuntu partition. Then instruct the windows installer to use that unpartitioned space | 03:34 |
| nemilar | heatmzzr: you need to create an NTFS partition...burn a gparted liveCD, resize your linux partition, and create an NTFS partition | 03:34 |
| sethk | tsrk, in general, a bit more, although it won't always be used | 03:34 |
| bod_ | hey guys ,.,. in windows u could make a virtual memory swap folder to increase ur ram,.,. can u do this in ubuntu? | 03:34 |
| sethk | bod_, yes | 03:34 |
| tsrk | Ok, thanks | 03:34 |
| heatmzzr | thanks folks | 03:34 |
| nemilar | bod_: that's what the swap partition is for | 03:35 |
| sethk | bod_, won't have the performance of a swap partition, but you can do it. | 03:35 |
| CrazyWulf | Hmm.... My minimize/maximize/close buttons are missing from my windows..... How do I get them back? :( | 03:35 |
| nemilar | bod_: but swap doesn't increase the amount of RAM you have | 03:35 |
| bod_ | nemilar, but it will speed my computer up a bit yer? | 03:35 |
| sethk | CrazyWulf, window manager configuration | 03:35 |
| nemilar | bod_: no | 03:35 |
| bod_ | nemilar, so wot does it do? | 03:35 |
| genii | limp: So if all partitions are allocated, you can proceed to the next step where it formats, etc | 03:36 |
| sethk | bod_, in the file system, quite likely not | 03:36 |
| nemilar | bod_: using swap is slower than using RAM, since swap is on the hard drive, and hard drives are slow | 03:36 |
| sethk | bod_, allows you to run very large programs | 03:36 |
| nemilar | bod_: it allows applications to use more memory | 03:36 |
| Ashnal | bod_ it looks exactly like that, and i am using the CA0106 | 03:36 |

| flamsmark | i'm having a problem successfully installing ubuntu with the alternate install disk. I have been trying to install with an encrypted root on a raid5 array, and /boot on a separate disk. i put one partition on each of three large disks, marking each as physical volumes for raid. then i made a raid volume, and used that as a physical volume for lvm. in that lvm, was one lvg with one logical volume, spanning the whole space, m | 03:37 |
| flamsmark | arked as a physical volume for encryption. in the encrypted volume, i put another lvg with two volumes, one for the root and one for the swap. at the end of another hdd, i put a 255mb /boot partition. the bootloader that the disk automagically installed was grub. when rebooting after the installation, i get an 'error loading operating system'. what am i doing wrong? | 03:37 |

| Ashnal | bod_ alright, in the mean time i think ill mess with the settings for my onboard sound and try that | 03:54 |
| misslecommander | sdfowes: not sure how linux looks at them, but blank and bad burns may be considered invalid media | 03:54 |
| nickrud | ramza3: use the full path names, like /usr/local/bin/lighttp (although I wonder why you're not using the ubuntu provided lighttp | 03:54 |
| ramza3 | nickrud, trying to get the latest and greatest | 03:54 |
| ramza3 | nickrud, works fine, just doesn't startup on boot | 03:55 |
| nickrud | !latest | 03:55 |
| ubotu | A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 03:55 |

| Ashnal | bod_ im not sure i havent any other comparable games | 03:59 |
| sdfowes | but are detected as full 8gb size in nero for windows. | 04:00 |
| bod_ | Ashnal, it sounds like a prob with the game,.,. make sure ur game is using ALSA | 04:00 |
| riotkittie | Dee: i *believe* there's a tutorial on ubuntuforums.org about doing exactly that with virtual box or vmware but i'm not positive | 04:00 |
| limp | genii, sure :) | 04:00 |
| Dee | hmm ok, thanks, ill look it up there | 04:00 |
| riotkittie | i'd go search for it for you but i dont have access to a browser | 04:00 |
| Ashnal | bod_ oh one thing you might be able to help, i tried using the alsa wrapper thing on it and it spits out an error | 04:00 |

| nickrud | Darkmystere: not a clue about pidgin, I don't use it. You can host a ftp server with any of /msg ubotu ftpd . Sites to upload to, I'm not sure I have my own server out there some where to put stuff on | 04:25 |

| kingpin | ok.. so I've been trying to get my new atheros wifi card working.. it just wouldn't scan. I recently found this: [ 1648.926332] rt61: module has no symbols (stripped?) [ 1648.926835] unable to load wlan_scan_sta, which would probably explain why I can't scan.. can anyone help me? | 04:26 |

| sdfowes | bazhang, you said i was giving crickets, i need to know what they are so i don't give them again. no external devices. as far as i can tell , it only does it in linux, including other distros such as fedora, redhat, suse, it does NOT do freeze/unfreeze with windows, freebsd, nebsd, openbsd. | 04:31 |

| xen_ | anyone? | 04:35 |
| Onyx | chris449: You'll not want to use the ubuntu package -- you'll want the package directly from the nvidia website. | 04:36 |
| xen_ | i can mount it, but need root | 04:36 |
| RB2 | genii, If I have more than 4, do I need to recompile with largemem support? (or is that with largemem support) | 04:36 |
| bazhang | crwlr: not really sure about that--are they the usb dongles? I have had bad luck with those | 04:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | RB2 if your machine supports 64 bit.. heck, I'm not sure what the limit is. | 04:36 |
| xen_ | but how do i actually be able to access it after moutning it without root? | 04:36 |
| Darkmystere | Can some 1 help me? I keep gettin this error:Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. | 04:36 |

| lupos\royman | Im looking for some program that can stream movies/music over the network. Preferably if I could watch it through the webbrowser but that isnt a must. Anyone got any idea? | 04:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | RB2 just install ubuntu 64bit version | 04:36 |
| jetscreamer | xen_: depending on the fs, youwould use umask and gid and uid in the mount command | 04:36 |
| Scunizi | !permissions | xen | 04:36 |
| ubotu | xen: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 04:36 |
| chris449 | Onyx: how do i do that? | 04:36 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: sounds like you need to edit your /etc/fstab file | 04:36 |
| Ashnal | nickrud: what does the ~/ in front of that path mean? | 04:36 |
| genii | limp: Next step: open again Terminal, then: sudo mkdir /media/shared/username <-- where username is your user name | 04:36 |
| xen_ | rats, so theres no "point and click" alternative? | 04:36 |
| Onyx | chris449: Are you on i386, or amd64, or what? | 04:36 |
| chris449 | Scuzini: looking for the server iso now, though it doesn't seem to be mirrored near me | 04:36 |
| crwlr | bazhang: ur correct about the dongles. i guess it will be a shot in the dark...regular ubuntu does good with it, but i want to give studio a shot so I spose i will see what happens | 04:37 |
| nickrud | Ashnal: ~ is a shortcut for /home/<you> , your home directory | 04:37 |
| chris449 | Onyx: i have amd64 though I'm using the i386 install | 04:37 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: I don't know if there is a point and click solution, but editing your fstab file will work | 04:37 |
| Onyx | chris449: Ah, that could be part of the problem... | 04:37 |
| RB2 | ArthurArchnix, I probably will, but I've heard of some problems with the 64-bit (in relation to apps I'm running). I thought that at some point, dynamic addressing was implemented so 32-bit could scale. | 04:37 |
| Scunizi | chris449: www.ubuntu.com then follow the download link.. | 04:37 |
| chris449 | Onyx: never affected me before | 04:37 |
| bazhang | crwlr: you can enable the ubuntu studio repos and install stuff from there on top of your working ubuntu install | 04:37 |
| xen_ | ok, i have no knowledge of fstab, where can i find out how to do what i want? | 04:37 |
| genii | limp: then: sudo chown -R <your user name>:<your user name> /media/shared/<the dirname we made before> | 04:37 |
| dduong | RB2: I've converted to 64 last night from i386 and I'm loving it :) | 04:37 |
| compy | so other than apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras whats another command like that i should install to get all the other libs and codecs? | 04:37 |

| crwlr | bazhang: unfortunately...not installed on my desktop, only the laptop...and no wired internet connection, just wireless. hrmmm. | 04:38 |
| Scunizi | chris449: Onyx i386 install won't matter on 64 bit.. | 04:38 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: remember, google is your friend.. if it doesn't know something, it's not worth knowing... http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html | 04:38 |

| limp | genii, operation not permitted | 04:38 |
| crwlr | that's correct. dont worry about the version, chris449. x86 should work just fine on ur x64 system | 04:38 |
| xen_ | i realise google is my friend, but linux is not as friendly | 04:38 |
| RB2 | dduong, Is there a noticeable performance impact? | 04:39 |
| chris449 | Onyx: i have to type all that in don't i -.- my computer's in the other room, this is the family one | 04:39 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: I know what you mean.. it was the same way for me when I first started out | 04:39 |
| genii | limp: Which operation? chmod or the mkdir one? | 04:39 |
| chris449 | Onyx: err.. that sounded like i was stupid, i know i have to type it in lol | 04:39 |
| limp | genii, chown | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | xen_: with companionship comes knowledge and friendship | 04:39 |
| xen_ | Joeyjoejo thanks for the link btw, ill do some reading up | 04:39 |
| crwlr | chris449: ya had me fooled...for a sec...HAHAHAHA! | 04:39 |
| dduong | RB2: 64bit is so much faster for me...especially while extracting compressed files and program load and run faster | 04:39 |
| Onyx | chris449: heh, i feel your pain... i had to do it recently when i updated xorg... | 04:39 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: no problem | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | xen_: stick with linux and it'll be your friend too | 04:40 |
| limp | genii, i'll try in root | 04:40 |
| xen_ | with knowledge and friendship comes arguements and mid life crisis | 04:40 |

| xen_ | lol | 04:40 |
| dduong | RB2: I have also installed Warcraft III and WoW and they are running fine with no problems | 04:40 |
| chris449 | Scunizi: server edition just too big for usb stick i think (499mb), i'll try Onyx's suggestion first | 04:40 |
| Scunizi | k | 04:40 |
| limp | genii, still won't work in root. | 04:40 |
| Onyx | chris449: Just wget that file, chmod +x it, then execute it with sudo. | 04:41 |
| misslecommander | Darkmyster: typohell my bad > sudo -i , then synaptic type in Terminal | 04:41 |
| ArthurArchnix | RB2 I've not heard of that. I'm skeptical. From what I've read.. 32bit only has enough addresses for 4gb of ram. | 04:41 |
| crwlr | here's a good question...I had my system up and going with an nvidia geforce 6600 video card in it, and it came up with a purple screen...so i restarted it and then it was just a black screen...any suggestions? | 04:41 |
| poutine | t | 04:41 |
| Onyx | crwlr: Your drivers are probably messed up. | 04:41 |
| genii | limp: sudo nano /etc/fstab then make defaults,users of the /dev/sda6 line into: user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 ctrl-x to exit, Y to save changes | 04:41 |
| RB2 | dduong, I'll have to try it out at some point for this box. I've gotta' do a fresh install of a new server and I'm trying to decide 32bit vs 64bit | 04:41 |
| crwlr | onyx: this was just the live cd | 04:41 |
| Onyx | what's with all these people having trouble on live cds? | 04:42 |
| Scunizi | crwlr: does the card have it's own power connector? | 04:42 |
| RB2 | ArthurArchnix, I remember reading it somewhere, but I don't really remember exactly where; take it with a grain of salt. | 04:42 |
| crwlr | scunizi: negative | 04:42 |
| limp | genii, wait wait, how do u do that ? | 04:42 |
| Darkmystere | misslecommander: it worked how can i fix it for me? | 04:42 |
| genii | limp: just use the arrow keys to navigate inside of the editing program called nano | 04:42 |
| Scunizi | crwlr: is it agp? my 6600 agp has a pwr connecor. | 04:42 |

| sdfowes | bazhang, you all done being pissed at me for being as clear as possible? | 04:43 |
| Scunizi | crwlr: ah | 04:43 |
| dduong | RB2: Cool, I'm going to convert my server to 64bit for sure after experiencing it for the first time on my laptop. | 04:43 |
| sdfowes | hahaha | 04:43 |
| genii | limp: The backspace can be used to back over defaults,users and type in there instead user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 | 04:43 |
| misslecommander | Darkmystere: i am looking, i will message if i find a good solution | 04:43 |
| crwlr | scunizi: picked it up for 40 bucks from some guy off of craigslist.org | 04:43 |
| fatedkiss | tritium, you in here | 04:43 |
| misslecommander | Darkmystere: just wanted you to still be able to use it. i'll message in a bit | 04:44 |

| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: it will tell you that /dev/whatever is mounted at /media/whatever | 04:48 |
| genii | xen_: Some get mounted with nodev option and have no /dev entries | 04:48 |
| xen_ | ah cool, ty i see it now | 04:49 |

| jamisou | trouble installing flashplayer on hardy heron... i've downloaded, installed but no flashplayer...? | 04:50 |
| Onyx | chris449: That's fine, let the script build the drivers. | 04:50 |
| xen_ | hmm seems i doesnt appear in mount, nor does it appear in ls /dev/hd* | 04:50 |
| bazhang | sdfowes: I would not want to do that--just try to be bit more patient--if someone knows they will help you | 04:50 |
| genii | limp: don't substitute your name there :) | 04:50 |
| Johnson_ | im trying to access a mounted network folder, and every time i try to do an operation on the folder like open it, or get its property i get a message saying "open folder u can stop this operation by clicking cancel" how do i fix this | 04:50 |
| misslecommander | Darkmystere: check this out, tell me how it goes please > http://www.linuxweblog.com/ubuntu-install#comment-133 | 04:50 |

| rouwenpi | can i configure my keyboard without xorg please ? | 04:50 |
| sdfowes | bazhang, you see me pasting line after line 10 seconds apart? no, i think i'm being quite patient. | 04:50 |
| desertc | stuudz: need to install windows first, or MS will take over your boot and keep ubuntu from loading | 04:50 |
| chris449 | Onyx: You do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system | 04:50 |
| UberDay | nope dehspehl its not there | 04:51 |
| limp | genii, k edited with "user" instead of "helix", should i try to remount? | 04:51 |
| limp | genii, mount worked | 04:51 |
| genii | limp: then ctrl-x Y Return then again: sudo umount /media/shared then: mount /media/shared | 04:51 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: run the mount command and copy the ouput to pastebin | 04:51 |
| dehspehl | UberDay: cedega is proprietary so by convention some of the stuff might be in opt | 04:51 |
| genii | limp: Good | 04:51 |
| chris449 | Onyx: it then tells me that installation failed | 04:51 |
| Onyx | chris449: Ergh... doesn't look like it will work then, because you need to install a C compiler... thought ubuntu included that by default :/ | 04:51 |
| genii | limp: Try to put something there now | 04:51 |
| limp | genii, i can now write, i think | 04:51 |
| xen_ | !paste | 04:51 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 04:51 |
| DIL_ | stuudz, it may serve you better to install ubuntu last | 04:51 |
| stuudz | desertc, I know but it's very easy to reinstall GRUB..... And i don't wan to format my ubuntu partition.... | 04:51 |
| chris449 | Onyx: the whole reason i'm doing this is to write C programs -.- seems a little ironic | 04:52 |
| Scunizi | sdfowes: not sure what your technical issue is ... perhaps restating it for someone else to answer.. I'm getting tire of reading the banter between you and bazhang | 04:52 |
| limp | genii, ok perfect i'll try from windows now | 04:52 |
| chris449 | Onyx: *compile c programs, someone else wrote it | 04:52 |
| Onyx | chris449: Ouch... want to try to install a compiler? | 04:52 |
| misslecommander | Darkmystere: review it first. backup any changes you make. | 04:52 |
| crwlr | bazhang...i gots me a problem now...it's just showing a black screen...studio just installed...idk what to do other than whip out the vista cd... | 04:52 |

| Jangari | how do i change the default file browser from nautilus to thunar? | 04:54 |
| bazhang | crwlr: that is odd; does the livecd work at all? or just the black screen? can you start up in safe mode? | 04:54 |
| dehspehl | UberDay: i think it's ~/.transgaming | 04:54 |
| UberDay | yup somethings there dehsphel just the link to it. im just trying to figure out if theres a c_drive | 04:54 |
| Onyx | dehspehl: Ahh okay -- I know I have that installed on my system, just didn't know what it was called (I come from OpenBSD and Slackware mindset...) -- I built my custom kernel immediately after install, heh. | 04:54 |
| UberDay | yah i just went there | 04:54 |
| limp | genii, i was able to write, now i'll see if i can modify / delete / access from linux, then i'm in bed | 04:54 |
| UberDay | i cant find that i saw that on the ubuntu site | 04:54 |
| xen_ | Joeyjoejo thats weird, it wasnt there the first time i ran mount | 04:54 |
| nano__ | Hey, If my router isnt working with linux, how would I modify it (settings wise) so that it does? | 04:54 |
| xen_ | that must be the IDE im trying to get at | 04:54 |

| misslecommander | treview first | 04:55 |
| sdfowes | Scunizi, ata problems. random freeze/unfreeze, doing anything to doing nothing. massive errors like that in the buffer | 04:55 |
| misslecommander | Darkmystere: review it first. backup any changes | 04:55 |
| tecywiz121 | DIL_, I have 4 gigs in there, but afaik the BIOS can only see three of it... When I had a gig, about 800megs was being reported | 04:55 |
| Scunizi | sdfowes: you trying to run vmware? unfortunatly I'm not up to answering your paste.. I just don't have the answer.. | 04:55 |
| chris449 | Onyx, dehspehl: is installing :) | 04:55 |
| jetscreamer | stuudz: fdisk -l | 04:55 |
| sdfowes | no vmware. | 04:55 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: cool.. so when you make your new entry in fstab, make sure it says /dev/sdb1 | 04:55 |
| bazhang | crwlr: you have ethernet access for the alt install cd computer? if I recall correctly there is a install drivers option at the end of that install process | 04:55 |
| sdfowes | Scunizi, not runnign vmware. it does it from boot until shutdown, just ideling. does it less with media in cdrom drive | 04:55 |
| Scunizi | sdfowes: sure looks like there's a vmware driver trying to load.. but I could be wrong | 04:55 |
| DIL_ | bad stick | 04:56 |
| Javid | can I get the source for a package from apt, or do I have to find it myself? | 04:56 |
| chris449 | Onyx: yay X ran, though a fat lot of good it did, how do i get the install started? | 04:56 |
| tecywiz121 | DIL_, Think so? | 04:56 |
| stuudz | jetscreamer, no.... in the installation of Windows XP.... | 04:56 |
| sdfowes | Scunizi, it does it from the livecd, which i'm sure has no vmware install on it. | 04:56 |
| xen_ | JoeyJoeJo yup cool, ty | 04:56 |
| crwlr | bazhang: didn't come across that option. the alt cd install is the desktop | 04:56 |
| Onyx | chris449: The system install? | 04:56 |
| sdfowes | Scunizi, but i may be wrong. | 04:56 |
| UberDay | nothing showed up with the transgameing folder deh but ill keep looking around im bound to find it sooner or later | 04:56 |
| DIL_ | try them alternatively | 04:56 |

| misslecommander | i think > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg < at login screen using Ctrl Alt F1 to enter Terminal , fixed my random desktop freeze issue. i took my time to make sure all was correct | 04:57 |
| Onyx | chris449: You'll want to do this... /etc/init.d/gdm start | 04:57 |
| sdfowes | would anyone know if it's possible to use a different driver? | 04:57 |
| jetscreamer | stuudz: ask in ##windows maybe | 04:58 |
| chris449 | Onyx: switch to a terminal first? | 04:58 |
| Scunizi | sdfowes: you have to restate you problem every 4-5 minutes.... succinctly | 04:58 |
| Onyx | chris449: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start -- do that out of x | 04:58 |
| bazhang | crwlr: what about safe mode in desktop? did that not work? | 04:58 |
| dehspehl | UberDay: 'locate' command | 04:58 |

| CppIsWeird | can anyone tell me how to confiure my wireless via command line, so far ive managed to set my wireless interfaces IP, and ive given iwconfig my router essid and key, how come nothings happening? | 04:58 |
| UberDay | holy hell lol ok i found it deh | 04:59 |
| cafuego | eshaase: Well, opera uses the Qt widget library, so it uses KDE theming. | 04:59 |
| UberDay | thanks much | 04:59 |
| Scunizi | Darkmystere: it's your ip then the port usually | 04:59 |
| bazhang | crwlr: okay | 04:59 |
| misslecommander | anony: something similiar, when i roll wy wheel to turn up the volume on real player, up is down, down is up :) | 04:59 |
| cafuego | eshaase: Which makes it authamgically use whatever you select if you run KDE. You can of course also install the KDE control center and tweak its theme to look like Gnome. | 04:59 |
| anony | missilecommander: any ideas? | 04:59 |
| dehspehl | cafuego: eshaase: i actually don't get why they do, they had to pay. coulda just used Gtk | 04:59 |
| Scunizi | Darkmystere: if you're behind a firewall you have to port forward the correct port to the machine | 04:59 |
| Darkmystere | I turned it off | 05:00 |
| dehspehl | cafuego: eshaase: Opera, that is | 05:00 |
| Darkmystere | the Firewall | 05:00 |
| sdfowes | does linux only have 1 driver for ide controllers? i find that highly unlikely. | 05:00 |
| cafuego | dehspehl: Gtk wasn't anywhere near as useful on Windows back then, I expect. | 05:00 |
| eshaase | cafuego: well i use gnome, will intalling the kde libs be sufficient? | 05:00 |
| cafuego | sdfowes: No, it has lots. | 05:00 |
| Scunizi | Darkmystere: in the router? | 05:00 |
| misslecommander | anony: i know of things to do in windows to re-map keys, but i dont know about linux. i am sure there is a way, but such a small issue, i wouldnt worry about it | 05:00 |
| crwlr | bazhang: shutting the desktop down now. gonna try the safemode deal | 05:00 |
| Darkmystere | Yea | 05:00 |
| cafuego | eshaase: The control center, and whatever depends that needs. | 05:00 |
| sdfowes | cafuego, very helpful. how many does ubuntu have? 1? | 05:00 |
| misslecommander | re-mapping is not fun | 05:00 |
| bazhang | crwlr: okay | 05:00 |

| anony | missilecommander: well, i figured if i'm having trouble, at least one other person is having the same problem, and i use it quite regularly | 05:01 |
| cafuego | sdfowes: www.kernel.org -> browse the ide source tree and check. probably a few hundred I imagine. | 05:01 |
| Darkmystere | Im Lost lol is it the Ip i set? | 05:01 |
| dehspehl | kde's mapping system is a little handier than manual X key map configurations | 05:01 |
| patogen | CppIsWeird: Maybe you need to use dhcp? dhclient does the trick then | 05:01 |
| chris449 | Onyx: probably a good time to mention i'm using kubuntu install disk :$ and i tried that kdm instead of gdm | 05:01 |
| bazhang | crwlr: best to do it in channel; that way everyone can benefit :} | 05:01 |
| misslecommander | anony: i noticed it, but it doesnt bother me. so i never really got into it | 05:01 |
| cafuego | sdfowes: Let me put it this way; I'd be surprised if you managed to find an ide controller that's not supported. | 05:01 |

| CppIsWeird | thx patogen | 05:02 |
| crwlr | bazhang: okay, im to the prompt. what would you like me to check? | 05:02 |
| Onyx | hrm.... but startx brings up the basic xorg, right? | 05:03 |
| JoeyJoeJo | xen_: looks good to me.. have you tested it out yet? | 05:03 |
| misslecommander | anony: one alternative ? maybe choose different keyboard in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layout. check to see its identified | 05:03 |
| Darkmystere | Well im totoally lost im trying to get my friend to test it for me but idk what To give him to access it.. | 05:03 |
| cafuego | sdfowes: It's probably using libata, the new driver model based on scsi etc. You'll be wanting to google a way to make it use the OLD style driver instead. | 05:03 |
| Darkmystere | Also idk where to put files >.> | 05:03 |
| xen_ | JoeyJoeJo just about to reboot to see how it go's, brb | 05:03 |
| JoeyJoeJo | ok | 05:03 |
| misslecommander | anony: dont make your OS unfunctional | 05:03 |
| Scunizi | Darkmystere: no.. the machine your on has an ip. If you're behind a firewall it starts with 192.xxx.x.x. If you're trying to get to the ftp server from outside the lan then you use the primary ip address of your network give by your isp. With a router installed you have to access the router configuation and setup port forwarding for the correct port to your ftp server. | 05:03 |
| bazhang | crwlr: no x server? just black screen? | 05:04 |
| chris449 | Onyx: yes it does | 05:04 |
| anony | missilecommander: System>Prefs>Keyboard Shortcuts, then assign keys. Works a charm. | 05:04 |
| venger | I'm wanting to dual boot windows/ubuntu. windows is already installed on a hardware raid mirror. i have a non-raid disk with upartitioned space to use for ubuntu. I'm concerned about running lilo to update the mbr in this situation since raid is involved. it seems easy to muck things up. Is there anything i need to do specifically for this type of config? like for example install the boot bloc | 05:04 |
| venger | k to each member of the raid? | 05:04 |
| Darkmystere | oh | 05:04 |
| misslecommander | Darlmystere: did that work for you ? | 05:04 |
| ppibburr | - made a lvecd from a feisty debootstrap with added freespire packages on a laptop, worked, i put it on a desktop and it worked till the computer fried?? | 05:04 |
| crwlr | bazhang: just root@ubuntu: | 05:04 |
| ubuntu | what causes the partitioner to error out every time you try to do it guided | 05:04 |
| cafuego | sdfowes: I understand that;'s not immediately useful advice, but I have a meeting I need to be at | 05:04 |
| Onyx | chris449: It's really odd that kdm would fail, then... give me a minute to look some stuff up | 05:04 |
| sdfowes | cafuego, sweet. kernel keeps hanging then resuming, getting ata timeouts. happens less with media in the cd drive (hdd and cddrive on same channel) and this doesn't happen with free/net/openbsd or windows .seems to be a linux thing | 05:04 |
| Darkmystere | ok sec | 05:04 |
| chris449 | Onyx: thank you :D | 05:04 |
| sdfowes | cafuego, much helpful. | 05:05 |
| dehspehl | kdm usually fails when X fails | 05:05 |
| bazhang | crwlr: what about startx what errors does it give | 05:05 |
| cafuego | righto | 05:05 |
| flamsmark | venger - can't you just ask the installer nicely to install lilo to the disk that you want to install ubuntu on, which isn't part of your raid? | 05:05 |
| Onyx | dehspehl: Yeah, my thoughts as well. | 05:05 |
| dehspehl | I don't think I've ever had it be a specifically kdm-related thing, that is | 05:05 |
| crwlr | bazhang: doin something... | 05:05 |

| flamsmark | no, and have the lilo installer detect windows and give you the option to boot that partition when the disk containing lilo is loaded by the bios | 05:08 |
| dehspehl | chris449: yeah, pasting w/o X is tricky | 05:08 |
| DIL_ | venger, yes | 05:08 |
| dehspehl | chris449: if startkde doesn't work you've got other problems | 05:08 |
| cafuego | dehspehl: not at all, use gpm or screen. | 05:09 |
| xen_ | JoeyJoeJo Thank you very much dude, it worked like a charm :-) | 05:09 |

| bazhang | dru: could you give a brief description of your problem; not everyone has x | 05:14 |
| Onyx | chris449: I don't know why you couldn't compile in i386 compatibility on an amd64 system, but it's been a while since I compiled a program of my own. | 05:14 |
| flamsmark | venger - see, a master scheme in action | 05:14 |
| Onyx | cprmpt: It would be very smart to do that... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:15 |
| cprmpt | well | 05:15 |
| cprmpt | I meant, does X need to be stopped | 05:15 |
| cprmpt | not literally kill it | 05:15 |

| Onyx | dru: How's that work? | 05:31 |

| jonathan8di | Onyx: apache is open source server software? | 05:31 |

| jonathan8di | Will it be like a DNS? | 05:31 |
| ppibburr | apache rocks | 05:31 |
| Onyx | jonathan8di: yes, apache is open source, and it's totally awesome | 05:32 |

| fatedkiss | so i cant get my wifi card to work after reinstalling ubuntu | 05:34 |
| dru | onyx: how do i open it again ... lol | 05:34 |
| chris449 | jonathan8di: running a server on your own computer, like Onyx is suggesting, is fun, you're not limited to web you can do other stuff too | 05:35 |
| jetscreamer | adrock358: you have to mount it, and substitute where you mounted it for /mountpoint/ | 05:35 |
| crwlr | OMG BAZHANG!!! For some reason it works now!!! | 05:35 |
| dru | chris449: its also hella expensive | 05:35 |
| bazhang | crwlr: are there some settings..oh good | 05:35 |
| zack | hey can someone help me with dvd playback in ubuntu, is it illegal??? | 05:35 |
| MirJA | zack, sure | 05:35 |
| jetscreamer | zack: depends on where you are | 05:35 |
| bazhang | zack depends where you live | 05:36 |
| ppibburr | depends | 05:36 |
| jetscreamer | if it's illegal | 05:36 |
| chris449 | dru: how? are you charged for data uploads? | 05:36 |
| crwlr | bazhang: all i did was plug a 15" crt into it...didnt work, so i restarted it with my lcds plugged back in and whalla | 05:36 |
| adrock358 | jetscreamer you mean where i want to mount it? like on the desktop? | 05:36 |
| zack | jetscreamer, im in the US and A | 05:36 |
| bazhang | crwlr: nice work! | 05:36 |
| dru | chriss449: a server from your computer ... dont that cost like 10 grand in equipment alone | 05:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | then technically, yes its illegal zack | 05:36 |
| crwlr | bazhang: now i just gotta figure out the twinview stuff | 05:36 |
| venger | under avanced, device for boot loader installation says (hd0), since all my drives are sda, sdb, sdc: does that mean the 1st drive which is sda? | 05:36 |
| jetscreamer | adrock358: mount the partition, on /mnt for instance. then edit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:36 |
| zack | I dont get it | 05:36 |
| zack | why ? | 05:36 |
| vontux | if I copy an x.org file that works from live-cd, why won't it work on my hd install? | 05:36 |
| crwlr | but before that i need a smoke, so brb bazhang | 05:36 |
| Onyx | dru: My mistake dude... | 05:36 |
| fatedkiss | bcmwl5 : driver installed | 05:37 |
| fatedkiss | device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) | 05:37 |
| fatedkiss | , can someone tell me what alternate driver is? | 05:37 |
| zack | so i can't legally play dvds! that i own! | 05:37 |
| Onyx | dru: You want /etc/modules | 05:37 |
| jonathan8di | dru: I only know c, c++, Java, and Javascript. But I plan on learning Python (or maybe ruby...or scala, that looks cool too) over the next year, so in one or more of the above languages. The tutorials won't be on learning the languages but more on special topics and effective programming. | 05:37 |
| jetscreamer | or /media/sda1/boot/grub/menu.lst ... wherever it gets mounted | 05:37 |
| chris449 | dru: I did it with a AUD$500 laptop, had a web and counter strike source server going | 05:37 |
| zack | thats obserd | 05:37 |
| ppibburr | ruby rocks! | 05:37 |
| jetscreamer | absurd | 05:37 |
| zack | sp | 05:37 |
| zack | thans | 05:37 |
| zack | thanks | 05:37 |
| adrock358 | jetscreamer what's the full command to mount the partition | 05:37 |
| dru | onyx: so how do i get in the modules again? | 05:37 |
| chris449 | dru: you can run a server on anything that can run linux :P just to varying degrees of success | 05:37 |
| zack | indyguyfreak, why is it illegal? | 05:37 |
| Onyx | dru: sudo nano /etc/modules | 05:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | zack: i wouldn't worry about why, you're going to watch DVDs, that you purchased and or rent, it should't be a prob. The issue seems with how Ubuntu unscrambles coded DVDs | 05:37 |
| jetscreamer | adrock358: that depends on what it is and where it is.. usually something like mount /dev/hda1 , if it's in fstab.. otherwise, mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt or whatever | 05:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | zack: That's too bad. If you lived somewhere else you could use these instructions to get DVD playings. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu Too bad. :( | 05:38 |
| dru | onyx: now? | 05:38 |
| SeabassTKE | anyone know how to drag something across monitors without the cube turning instead? | 05:38 |
| jetscreamer | you need libdvdcss2 for the dvds | 05:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | ArthurArchnix: lol | 05:38 |
| Onyx | dru: make sure the you have this line: | 05:38 |
| bazhang | crwlr: check !twinview command for that | 05:38 |
| Onyx | dru: options snd_hda_intel model=3stack position_fix=1 | 05:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | !dvd | zack just install libdvdcss and don't worry about it | 05:38 |
| ubotu | zack just install libdvdcss and don't worry about it: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 05:38 |
| ppibburr | linux dvd decryption a 14 yr old cracked it right? | 05:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | ppibburr: probably | 05:39 |
| fatedkiss | , can someone tell me what alternate driver is? | 05:39 |
| dru | onyx: thats it? | 05:39 |
| fatedkiss | device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) | 05:39 |
| Onyx | ppibburr: I think so, yeah | 05:39 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo crwlr | 05:39 |
| ArthurArchnix | ppibburr: I think you're thinking of the HDDVD | 05:39 |
| Onyx | dru: yep, save it and exit | 05:39 |
| zack | Can anyone tell me why it is illegal? | 05:39 |
| patogen | How come my video output from all files look terrible? It doesn't matter if I have codecs installed or not | 05:39 |
| NotLarry | Ok, this is the wrong channel for this, but I made a mistake and totally hosed my apache2 installation on my lamp setup of 7.10. I have tried to apt-get apache2 but can't seem to get it running again. any suggestions on getting my originally installed setup short of reinstalling the os? | 05:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | zack: i just did | 05:39 |
| adrock358 | How do i log in as root? | 05:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | !root | adrock358 | 05:39 |
| ubotu | adrock358: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:39 |
| dru | onyx: ctrl+o, then enter ... then ctrl+x ... then reboot? | 05:39 |
| jetscreamer | adrock358: add sudo in front | 05:39 |
| Onyx | dru: Yeah | 05:40 |
| jetscreamer | dru: yes, or just ctrl+x.. it will ask you if you want to save | 05:40 |
| ArthurArchnix | That is funny. | 05:40 |

| venger | I'm installing 7.10 Desktop. under advanced -> device for boot loader installation says (hd0), since all my drives are sda, sdb, sdc: does that mean the 1st drive which would be sda? | 05:40 |
| spacecat | should i put ubuntu or fedora on my labtop | 05:40 |
| jetscreamer | yes venger | 05:40 |
| venger | jetscreamer, thanks for the response | 05:40 |

| sadmin | okwho me | 05:41 |
| spacecat | hey | 05:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | IndyGunFreak: LTS most likely | 05:42 |
| zack | indygunfreak, all you said was that there is an issue with ubuntu unscramling coded dvds | 05:42 |
| sadmin | indyGunFreak | 05:42 |
| dru | onyx: still nothing | 05:42 |
| sadmin | ? | 05:42 |

| zack | IF someone can't answer my question im going back to windows where i don't have to break the law (at least not to play my own dvd's) | 05:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ArthurArchnix: probably, but assujming he's not payhing for support, its kinda useless | 05:42 |
| Onyx | dru: modprobe snd_hda_intel | 05:42 |
| levander | In evolution, how do I get it so that when I delete a message it doesn't just draw a line through it, but moves it to the Trash folder? | 05:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | zack: if you really wan tto know, Google holds the answers, I told you the basic issue. | 05:42 |
| sadmin | well its a old system i have implement ldap with ppolicy so i jaust wana check it with ubuntu | 05:42 |
| jetscreamer | zack: ok | 05:42 |
| ppibburr | zack: the decryption is unlicsensed | 05:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | zack: Read the links man. You pay money for windows and windows pays some of that money to the people who own the patent for dvd decryption. | 05:42 |
| dru | onyx:FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found. | 05:42 |
| Rei-chan | zack: You are free to use whatever operating system you want. This is a support channel, not #law. | 05:42 |
| jetscreamer | cya | 05:42 |
| bazhang | zack: go to www.medibuntu.org and read around | 05:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | zack: then go back to windows,, obody really cares... we told you the issue. | 05:42 |
| levander | zack: don't be an idiot about panties | 05:43 |
| Onyx | dru: Ah, that would be why it's not working... you need to compile that module. | 05:43 |

| * ArthurArchnix marvels at the zack attack... oops. | 05:43 | |
| Onyx | dru: Give me a sec to find it. | 05:43 |
| chris449 | Onyx: would you have to run a program if the DNS is pointing at your computer, or is that it? | 05:43 |
| crwlr | !belkin 54g usb | 05:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about belkin 54g usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:43 |

| ppibburr | haha | 05:43 |
| chris449 | crwlr: belkin hardware is terrible, their support is good though | 05:43 |
| chris449 | jonathan8di: yeap, and counter strike source. It didn't last long and i was only doing it for fun | 05:44 |

| patogen | How come my video output from all files look terrible? It doesn't matter if I have codecs installed or not | 05:44 |
| levander | Oh come on, no one uses evolution? | 05:44 |
| dru | patogen: same for me | 05:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Used to. But then didn't like the idea of being tied to gnome forever. What's the issue | 05:45 |
| flamsmark | i wonder if there's been sufficient user turnover in this channel th re-ask my question yet? i have been attempting to install (using the alternate disk) root in an encrypted container on a raid5 array. though i have succeeded before on this very system, this time, i am failing miserably. i am open to suggestions that involve using the same hardware to implement a slightly different procedure that achieves the same goals. i | 05:45 |
| flamsmark | have just under two gig at the end of one disk which is otherwise in use, and three large disks. backups are handled separately, and remotely, but i want to have a fault- (if no mistake-) tolerant system. what am i almost certainly doing wrong, or what should i be doing right? | 05:45 |
| jonathan8di | Onyx: Ohhh! Thanks. I was confused on that. So when godaddy.com ask for DNS, I can just put my one IP address, right? | 05:45 |
| Turel | there is an empty partition on my disk. how can i manage it ? | 05:45 |
| patogen | dru: No idea how to fix it? | 05:45 |
| patogen | dru: The videos look normal in win xp and mac os x | 05:45 |
| dru | patogen: nope i tryed everything | 05:45 |
| Onyx | jonathan8di: Yup | 05:45 |
| jonathan8di | Onyx: But goDaddy asks for a minimun of 2 DNS. | 05:45 |
| patogen | dru: That sucks =/ | 05:45 |
| Onyx | jonathan8di: Just list it twice | 05:45 |
| dru | patogen: yes | 05:45 |

| ppibburr | turel: gparted | 05:47 |
| chris449 | Onyx: this may sound dumb, but why does a domain registrar need DNS servers? | 05:47 |
| puff | Hi... odd question here. I'm trying to back up an old win98 box before I reformat it for ubuntu. | 05:47 |
| CruCio | ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-6.0-linux-ppc.tgz | 05:47 |
| CruCio | on my ubuntu | 05:47 |
| CruCio | i want to install that file above | 05:47 |
| Rei-chan | crucio: Are you at command line? | 05:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | why is that odd? | 05:47 |
| adrock358 | I'm on LiveCD and mounted my hard drive on Desktop. how to I access menu.lst from it in gedit? | 05:47 |
| CruCio | terminal ? | 05:47 |
| puff | It only has a 2GB drive; I should be able to fit that on my ipod nano! :-) | 05:47 |
| chris449 | *punches self for saying DNS servers* shoudl just be DNS | 05:47 |
| jetscreamer | chris449: so they know where to tell computers that want to know where you are where to look to find out where you are | 05:47 |
| dru | onyx: any luck? | 05:47 |
| flamsmark | oh, jetscreamer, how it hurts me to hear you laugh at my pain | 05:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Very strange. I didn't mess around too much with the default install, but I never noticed anything like that. | 05:47 |
| Rei-chan | crucio: Yes. type apt-get install java2, we use apt in Ubuntu. | 05:47 |
| Onyx | chris449: because the registrar tells the domain where to "go" when the URL is typed into a browser. A URL is really just a "frontend" if you will | 05:47 |
| levander | CruCio: System -> Administration -> Synaptic | 05:47 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Well, I'm looking for some windows help, so I can get off windows. | 05:47 |
| Onyx | dru: almost got it, give me a minute | 05:48 |
| CruCio | dude, i tried everything | 05:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: i mean why is it an issue backing up your windos drive? | 05:48 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: Maybe it's because I'm using IMAP or Maildir? | 05:48 |
| CruCio | and that never worked for me | 05:48 |
| puff | It's my mom's old laptop, I want to back it up before I reformat, in case she forgot and left an important file on it. | 05:48 |
| cotton | im trying to use synaptic package manager with linux ubuntu 7.04 and i get a message that says | 05:48 |

| adrock358 | I'm on LiveCD and mounted my hard drive on Desktop. Does anybody know how I access menu.lst from it in gedit? | 05:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Perhaps. I usually went to the gnome forums for my troubles. And I seem to recall there being an evolution irc channel I went to once too.... I'll see if I can dig it up | 05:48 |
| jetscreamer | edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:48 |
| Onyx | dru: dru: sudo aptitude install alsa-source linux-backports-modules-generic | 05:49 |
| cotton | yeah what am i supost to change it to | 05:49 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: I plugged my nano into this things USB port (it's a thinkpad) but I can't tell if it's workig or not. | 05:49 |
| chris449 | Onyx: oh i see, so it doesn't ask for the IP of the host, but rather the DNS servers that will contain the IP of the host? | 05:49 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: I've been there, but it's not a heavily trafficed server. Did you get any help there? | 05:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: are you on Ubuntu now or Windows... I'm assumig you're using a Live CD, right? | 05:49 |
| adrock358 | I'm on LiveCD and mounted my hard drive on Desktop. Does anybody know how I access menu.lst from it in gedit? | 05:49 |
| jonathan8di | Onyx/chris44/dru: Can you explain to me what will happen once I change the DNS to my IP address? What will happen when I then try to access my domain name through a web browser? What will my PC return from that request (right now I don't have any special "server" software installed.) | 05:50 |
| Onyx | chris449: Depends how the DNS is set up, but yeah, that's the idea | 05:50 |
| ppibburr | adrock: kate MOUNTED/path/to/file | 05:50 |
| CruCio | Rei-chan , did what you just said and it says E: couldn't find package java2 | 05:50 |

| puff | IndyGunFreak: Right now it's booted up under win98. I have an ubuntu live CD, yeah. | 05:50 |
| Onyx | jonathan8di: It will probably say that there is no server configure | 05:50 |
| adrock358 | Nobody? | 05:50 |

| adrock358 | ppibburr it says i don't have permission to modify it. i need to edit it. | 05:54 |
| dru | onyx: Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press [Enter]. | 05:54 |
| ppibburr | sudo | 05:54 |
| ppibburr | adrock: sudo | 05:54 |
| Onyx | dru: You'll want to chmod +x the .sh files, then run them | 05:54 |
| flamsmark | venger, that went right over my head | 05:54 |
| jonathan8di | Onyx: How do I know if I have a dynamic or static IP? I guess it will cause problems if it is dynamic. | 05:54 |
| chris449 | Onyx: (k)ubuntu finished installing, but it seems it didn't install GRUB, any suggestions on how i should go about installing it? | 05:54 |
| flamsmark | i was hoping for it just to work. as it does on my laptop, which doesn't have a raid | 05:54 |
| Onyx | jonathan8di: If you're not on dialup, you can safely pick static -- your IP rarely changes. | 05:54 |
| Perdente | hi everyone, I have a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection card which worked fine for me, but after the last update my wireless isn't recognized anymore, does anyone know what to do? | 05:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: did you get lost? | 05:55 |
| Onyx | chris449: sudo apt-get install grub | 05:55 |
| dru | onyx: thanks | 05:55 |
| jonathan8di | Rei-chan: Why can't I put my on IP? | 05:55 |
| Onyx | chris449: Are you sure it didn't install grub? | 05:55 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr i'm opening the file directly though | 05:55 |
| CruCio | ok i just did what u said indygunfreak | 05:55 |
| Onyx | dru: Got it working? | 05:55 |
| jonathan8di | Rei-chan: Why do I have to go through a name server? | 05:55 |
| dru | onyx: read pm | 05:55 |
| dru | onyx: just the crossover | 05:55 |
| CruCio | i see 3dchess | 05:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: in Synaptick, Click Settings, and Repositories | 05:55 |
| chris449 | Onyx: nope i'm not sure, but it booted straight to windows after the BIOS | 05:55 |
| Onyx | dru: Hrm, didn't get a PM... | 05:55 |
| Rei-chan | jonathan8di: Ask Godaddy. :) | 05:55 |
| ppibburr | adrock: sudo [editor] /path/to/file | 05:55 |
| Onyx | chris449: Ahhh okay, you definitely need to install it then | 05:56 |
| dru | hm, i thought i sent one | 05:56 |
| Tatsh | anyone here use vsftpd for ftp? | 05:56 |
| Onyx | dru: Is your nickname registered? If not you can't send PMs | 05:56 |
| dru | oh | 05:56 |
| dru | i feel stupid now | 05:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: you there? | 05:56 |
| CruCio | ok indygunfreak | 05:56 |
| CruCio | yes | 05:56 |
| CruCio | i am | 05:56 |
| chris449 | Onyx: any suggestions as to how? i have a super GRUB disc lying around somewhere, or should i stick back in the ubuntu live cd? | 05:56 |
| Onyx | dru: /msg nickserv register PASSWORD email@whatever.com | 05:56 |
| dru | in the irc? | 05:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: on that first tab (Ubuntu software) are all those boxes checked? | 05:57 |
| ppibburr | adrock: what do you mean directly? | 05:57 |
| CruCio | nope | 05:57 |
| jonathan8di | I don't understand. I thought paying to register my domain name meant that I got to pick what IP address it maps to. | 05:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: whats not checked? | 05:57 |
| CruCio | their all unchecked | 05:57 |
| Onyx | chris449: If you bring up the livecd, before it actually loads up the OS, you can pass options to it to boot your Ubuntu system. From there, you can install grub (after it's loaded) | 05:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: what versikon of Ubuntu are you using? | 05:57 |
| l3ttuc3 | i unmounted a partition in gnome (nautilus) i can manually mount it back, but it's little icon does not appear back on the desktop, how do i manage that please? | 05:57 |
| CruCio | version ? | 05:58 |
| chris449 | Onyx: ok thought so, rebooting computer now :) | 05:58 |
| CruCio | 7.10 Gutsy | 05:58 |
| Onyx | chris449: Let me know when you need some help :P | 05:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: hm, ok.. well on that first tab, check them all except source code. | 05:58 |
| Onyx | chris449: It should be easy enough to do from the package manager -- just select grub, then run the grub setup | 05:58 |
| CruCio | ok everything on top is checked except source code | 05:58 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr what would the path be to my mounted hd when it is on the desktop and labeled "disk" | 05:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: after checking all of them, click Close, then when you're back at Synaptic, click Reload in the toolbar | 05:59 |
| dru | onyx: in the chat? | 05:59 |
| Onyx | dru: Hm? | 05:59 |
| user01 | can anyone give me an idea of something i could present on at my LUG? Im still new to linux and the president needs another presentation for the meeting :p | 05:59 |
| ppibburr | adrock: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk | 05:59 |
| dru | onyx: to put the /msg stuff | 05:59 |
| Onyx | dru: oh, yeah -- just make sure there isn't a space before the / | 05:59 |
| CruCio | ok i have | 06:00 |
| dru | ok | 06:00 |
| CruCio | its downloading somthing | 06:00 |
| dru | onyx: did you get my pm? | 06:00 |
| Onyx | dru: Did you resend it? | 06:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: right.. when its done, click "Search".. and do a search for "sun-java" | 06:00 |
| ppibburr | adrock: that is the / directory | 06:00 |
| dru | yes | 06:00 |
| Onyx | dru: Hrm, still nothing... :/ | 06:00 |
| chris449 | Onyx: ok i'm at the live CD menu, what do i give it to boot? it's installed on sdc3 | 06:00 |
| dru | brb | 06:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: did you do the search? | 06:01 |
| marbig | /msg nickserv set hide email on | 06:01 |
| bazhang | uhm marbig | 06:02 |

| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: sun-java make sure you have the - | 06:02 |
| dru | onyx: when i put in the linux cd it shows up on the desktop as linux | 06:02 |
| dru | onyx: but doesnt recognize in the terminal | 06:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: did it kickback some results? | 06:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | Lavender still there? | 06:03 |
| ppibburr | i made a livecd from a feisty debootstrap for i386 on a amd64 laptop, worked, ran it on a desktop and it fried. that normal? | 06:03 |
| Onyx | chris449: Hrm, it doesn't give you any options? | 06:03 |
| Onyx | chris449: It's been a long time since I've booted from a livecd--give me a sec to look it up | 06:03 |
| venger | ppibburr, whats fried mean? is the cd reader on the desktop old? maybe it doesn't like the burn? | 06:04 |
| jonathan8di | jonathan | 06:04 |
| marbig | Hi all | 06:04 |
| Onyx | dru: if you close out the package manager and try it again what does it say? | 06:04 |
| ppibburr | vanger: computer shutoff, will not turn on | 06:04 |
| Onyx | dru: If it's showing on the desktop it's definitely mounted. | 06:04 |
| ppibburr | venger* | 06:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Check this out... there's been six years of complaints over at Evolution-devel about this... you are the latest victim :) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061 | 06:04 |
| sadmin | hey guys is ubuntu dapper works with pploicy on ldap | 06:04 |
| chris449 | Onyx: thanks, i'm looking through the help file now, but can't find anythign yet | 06:04 |
| CK_L | how to execute *.run | 06:04 |
| venger | ppibburr, sounds like coincedence | 06:04 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr so if i want to access menu.lst using gedit, from my mounted hard drive (which is labeled "disk," and is on the desktop) I type: sudo gedit /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:04 |

| CruCio | Indygunfreak | 06:05 |
| ppibburr | adrock: yes | 06:05 |
| dru | onyx: still says the same | 06:05 |
| ppibburr | venger: really? | 06:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: yes? | 06:05 |
| CruCio | i found sun-java5jre | 06:05 |
| CruCio | and sun-java5source | 06:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: This is a screenshot of a filter workaround. I suppose you could try the same with trash. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=99009&action=view | 06:05 |
| adrock358 | ippibburr i get a blank file | 06:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: java6 should be there to. if youw ant it. | 06:05 |
| venger | ppibburr, yea unless the livecd ran the cdrom at highspeed raising the temps up high enough to smoke something ? =) | 06:05 |
| CruCio | yes , sun-java6-jre | 06:06 |
| CruCio | is it ? | 06:06 |
| ppibburr | venger: maybe, it was on a usb key thoug... but i think the cdrom was freaking, least it was noisy like a cdrom | 06:06 |
| Onyx | chris449: What drive is linux installed on again? | 06:06 |
| ppibburr | adrock: is it a new file or an existing? | 06:06 |
| chris449 | Onyx: sdc3 | 06:06 |
| ppibburr | adrock: exit without save, then cat /path/to/file | 06:07 |
| CruCio | Indygunfreak | 06:07 |
| dru | onyx: after the 5th time of opening and closing the cd drive it finally worked | 06:07 |
| CruCio | sun-java6-jre is it ? | 06:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: anyways, these aer the ones you need to mark for installation.... (right click, mark for install)... sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin after you right click and mark all those for install, click Apply at the top, install them | 06:07 |
| Onyx | chris449: sudo mkdir /mnt/linux | 06:07 |
| Onyx | dru: Awesome -- 'cause I didn't know what to tell ya :P | 06:07 |
| dru | onyx: it is done | 06:07 |
| Onyx | dru: try the modprobe command again | 06:07 |
| venger | ppibburr, so it wont turn on as in no power light, no spin ups?? | 06:07 |
| ppibburr | venger: nothing | 06:08 |
| venger | ppibburr, crack the case | 06:08 |
| CruCio | i should check their boxes right ? | 06:08 |
| dru | onyx: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found. | 06:08 |
| ppibburr | venger: hehe, thats the problem its at my work | 06:08 |
| Onyx | chris449: Is your nickname registered to services? | 06:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: or just right click them and choose "mark for installation" | 06:08 |
| chris449 | Onyx: nope, should I? | 06:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | and a box will pop up showing dependencies you need to install, jsut click Mark | 06:08 |
| venger | ppibburr, grab a witness or kick it while noones looking | 06:08 |
| Onyx | chris449: Yeah, would probably be easier because there's a lot of commands to pass for this to get done | 06:09 |
| CruCio | .bin is not found ? | 06:09 |
| Tixer | I want to put Xubuntu on a flash drive, so I can install it on a comp without a CD drive. How can I do this?. | 06:09 |
| Onyx | chris449: Easier than keeping all this in the channel | 06:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: are you sure? | 06:09 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: I just looked at that bug report. That's pretty much the last straw for me and evolution. It's already crashed on me a couple of times trying to set it up to work with dovecot IMAP. I'm going back to Thunderbird. | 06:09 |
| CruCio | i can't find the java6-bin | 06:09 |
| ppibburr | venger: they cant prove anything, shutdown and rebooted from the key, out IT never knows i'm there | 06:09 |
| CruCio | Yes | 06:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: its sun-java6-bin | 06:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | is that what you searched for? | 06:09 |
| ppibburr | venger: just i dont want to fry my machines | 06:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Essentially, what I've learned is that IMAP on Evolution is dysfunctional. But they at least have the pride in knowing that they alone are doing it as it ought to be done. Or something. Filters and expunging delete on exit sounds like a workaround for single users. Many users on many clients is apparently a nightmare. | 06:10 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr what i mean is, the file is blank. not like when i nav directly to it from the mounted drive itself on the desktop (menu.lst file). | 06:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Yeah. It's depressing alright. I just read the ubuntu bug report where the ubuntu guys said, go talk to the gnome guys. | 06:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: find it? | 06:10 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: I do use other clients - it's an IMAP account, that's the whole point. Between non-standard behavior and the crashes, I'm just done. | 06:11 |
| ppibburr | adrock: when you nav to it you see contents? | 06:11 |
| CruCio | There is only sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-javadb sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-sources | 06:11 |
| adrock358 | yes | 06:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: I wonder what Kubuntu uses... | 06:11 |
| ppibburr | adrock: run that path by me agian | 06:11 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: There's kmail. | 06:11 |
| dru | onyx: anything else i can do? | 06:12 |
| CruCio | same does for the java5 | 06:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: It's a shame to lose all that nice pda and calendar integration, you know? | 06:12 |
| Onyx | dru: Looking into it... | 06:12 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: Isn't evolution one of the old Ximian apps? Ximian, the company Novell bought, that also does Mono? | 06:12 |
| dru | onyx: thanks | 06:12 |
| Xabriel | quick question: When setting up gutsy, how should I use the primary/logcal options? | 06:12 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: Yeah, I was really thinking about getting into the evolution. | 06:12 |
| dru | onyx: for some reason i still cant pm you | 06:12 |
| desertc | Tixer: you sure can - it's a little tricky, but it can be done. They sell bootable USB memory sticks, too | 06:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: click on Settings/Repositories again | 06:12 |
| CruCio | ok | 06:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Heh... all I know is that one time I had a ximian desktop wallpaper, and one time I looked it up and found out it used to be a linux os or something... :P | 06:13 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. allright. i'm on LiveCd. I mounted my drive to Desktop. It's called Disk. And I'm trying to edit the file menu.lst. the menu.lst file is in boot/grub | 06:13 |
| Onyx | dru: Chances are 'dru' is registered by someone else, so when you tried to register, it failed... check the server tab to see if that's what happened | 06:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | on th first Tab "Ubuntu software".. check source code... on the second tab, "Third party software".. check all those boxes | 06:13 |
| venger | is there an option to add programs to the right click menu? | 06:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: see above | 06:13 |
| adrock358 | oh you mean: sudo gedit /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:13 |
| ppibburr | tixer: i got a script | 06:13 |
| ppibburr | tixer: that does it perfectly | 06:14 |
| CruCio | Yes | 06:14 |
| root__ | I learn to program with LDD v3 | 06:14 |
| CruCio | there is | 06:14 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. oh you mean: sudo gedit /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:14 |
| root__ | but it can't work | 06:14 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: Mono is the .NET clone for Linux. Really stupid idea. If it ever becomes real competitor to MS .NET, MS will kill it so fast by messing around with the standards. I'm counting evolution as one more bad idea by Ximian. | 06:14 |
| root__ | how to set the include file path | 06:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: did you check all those boxes? | 06:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | on third party, | 06:14 |
| CruCio | yes | 06:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: and did you click source code on the first tab? | 06:14 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: I just looked it up, Evolution is from that old Ximian company, now owned by Novell. | 06:14 |
| ppibburr | adrock: that sure do it | 06:14 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: That awkward image manager program called F-Spot is another thing done by Ximian. | 06:15 |
| CruCio | yes | 06:15 |
| ppibburr | adrock: if that is the path, then you will have read,write access to oit | 06:15 |
| levander | ArthurArchnix: My rage is growing as I type about that company... I'd better just stop. | 06:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | levander: Looks like I got you started on the warpath. Sorry I couldn't find a better answer for you. Ooooh.... don't get me started on F-Spot. :) | 06:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: click close, then click reload | 06:15 |
| Xabriel | what is the difference between using primary or logical partitions? | 06:15 |
| CruCio | ok | 06:15 |
| Rich4 | can I get help with getting xwinwrap>? | 06:15 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. in order to save it do i have to open through terminal? | 06:15 |
| CruCio | do i do anything in add/remove ? | 06:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | no. | 06:15 |
| chap | Why when I 'shutdown -P now' my server shuts off, but the power led remains on? | 06:16 |
| CruCio | k | 06:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | did you reload synaptic | 06:16 |
| CruCio | ys | 06:16 |
| CruCio | yes* | 06:16 |
| ppibburr | adrock: as long as you used sudo, you can save | 06:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: now click search, and do a search for sun-java | 06:16 |
| adrock358 | Can anybody help me out? I'm on LiveCd, and I mounted my HD so I can edit menu.lst. When I navigate to it all I see is a black file. The path is ppibburr is that right? Thanks. | 06:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: did sun-java6 come up with several options? | 06:17 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. you don't get it bro. when i open the file directly, like with my mouse, i can't save. | 06:17 |
| ppibburr | adrock terminal, sudo gedit /path | 06:17 |
| CruCio | nope , same options | 06:18 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr all i get is blank file | 06:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | CruCio: type this w/o quotes... "/join #indygunfreak" | 06:18 |
| CruCio | k | 06:18 |
| ppibburr | adrock: sudo cat /path | 06:18 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. so cat /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:19 |
| dru | onyx: ... ive tryed ... /msg nickserv register <nick> <password> ... 20 times and nothing happens | 06:19 |
| Huy | hello, how do I change it so that my core file starts with its name and PID rather than just "core" when a program dmbs a core? | 06:19 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr with sudo of course | 06:19 |
| Onyx | dru: are you in xchat? | 06:19 |
| dru | yes | 06:19 |
| ppibburr | adrock :yes | 06:19 |
| Onyx | dru: There is a "server" window -- it should say "Freenode" or "Ubuntu", but it's in the left column of xchat. click there, and you can see messages from the server | 06:20 |
| jklfdjskl | my webcam works with kopete and cheese, but doesnt work with gyachi. what can i do? | 06:20 |

| ppibburr | it dumps the file stdout | 06:21 |

| ppibburr | adrock: did it dump anything? | 06:22 |
| chap | dru /msg nickserv identify password | 06:22 |
| Onyx | dru: So you'll need to pick a new nickname | 06:22 |
| jklfdjskl | anyone have any ideas? | 06:22 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. sudo cat /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:22 |
| adrock358 | returns no such file... | 06:22 |
| dru | i been tryin to do that ... lol i cant figure it out | 06:22 |
| Onyx | dru: Since 'dru' is taken, you can pick another nickname with /nick whatever | 06:23 |
| chap | dru try #freenode | 06:23 |
| === dru is now known as tdru | ||
| ppibburr | adrock: what version ubuntu? | 06:23 |
| Onyx | tdru: Actually... | 06:23 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr 7.1 should i umount then remount? | 06:23 |
| Onyx | tdru: The last time 'dru' was seen was over 3 years ago, so you can probably use it. | 06:23 |
| tdru | lol | 06:23 |
| tdru | too late? | 06:23 |
| jklfdjskl | my webcam works with kopete and cheese, but doesnt work with gyachi. what can i do? | 06:23 |

| jklfdjskl | my webcam works with kopete and cheese, but doesnt work with gyachi. what can i do? | 06:27 |
| flamsmark | i can't seem to find it in the man page | 06:27 |
| chap | kr00l: Ubuntu server provides Samba, mail server, DNS, LAMP, and various other tools | 06:27 |
| flamsmark | but i don't need the data zeroed, just not sensible | 06:27 |
| flamsmark | venger ^ | 06:27 |
| kr00l | chap: so could i use it at home? Is it easy to setup | 06:27 |
| venger | flamsmark, fair enough, just confirming it | 06:27 |
| andoatnp | when I try to install ubuntu on a windows dell pc, off a cd, it goes through the ubuntu welcome screen with the orange scoll bar, and then freezes up | 06:27 |
| crwlr | bazhang: i got mad at it...had to install the ndiswrapper and i'm not in the mood for that so i am trying regular ol 7.10...and so far so good | 06:27 |
| andoatnp | any advice on what to do? | 06:27 |
| ppibburr | venger: you think the liveenviroment i made is safe? | 06:28 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. it is in media | 06:28 |
| chap | kr00l: from my experience the packages are partially configured. I've been doing quite a bit of googling to figure it out | 06:28 |
| flamsmark | and i can't seem to find the length setting in the manpage | 06:28 |
| riotkittie | andoatnp: try checking the cd or the md5sum... or booting in safe graphics mode. alternatively, try the alternate CD | 06:28 |
| bazhang | crwlr: okay; give a shout when/if you have issues :} | 06:28 |
| venger | ppibburr, no flash disk or cd will cause a desktop to not power on. I'm sticking with coincedence | 06:28 |
| kr00l | chap; great, all i want is an easy to use file server | 06:29 |
| ppibburr | venger: but the software being created in a different envroment? | 06:29 |
| crwlr | bazhang: can i make that a item for the distro team? to have ndiswrapper already working like on regular ubuntu? cause i can connect to my network on livecd 7.10...just not with the studio | 06:29 |
| chap | kr00l: i just got samba running. It wasn't too much trouble (a few hours for the noob inside me) | 06:29 |
| flamsmark | venger , aah count | 06:29 |
| andoatnp | riotkittie: I did the cd check, and it was ok, and safe graphics mode crashed.. what is the alternate CD? | 06:29 |
| kr00l | chap: lots of noob in me | 06:30 |
| venger | doesn't matter, hardware failure is hardware failure even if you had some software that load tested it to the point of failure, its still the hardware at fault | 06:30 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. it is in /media so i can just nav to it and save it right? | 06:30 |
| riotkittie | andoatnp: the alternate CD is a text based installer :T no live disc, no 'try before you buy' | 06:30 |
| ppibburr | venger: hahaha | 06:30 |
| bazhang | crwlr: ubuntustudio is a pure distro--ie no non-free bits | 06:30 |
| venger | ppibburr, i could see it bombing out with errors rebooting, but not failing for good | 06:30 |
| ppibburr | adrock: no, unless you open as sudo | 06:30 |
| crwlr | ahh thx for that info, bazhang | 06:30 |
| riotkittie | andoatnp: it freezes completely? are the caps/scroll/numlk lights flashing? | 06:30 |
| chap | kr00l: samba will let you setup shares with windows and other *nix pc's. | 06:30 |
| ppibburr | venger *nods | 06:31 |
| kr00l | chap: i don't know how to master the command line and ubuntu server is only commandline | 06:31 |
| crwlr | bazhang: what should my partition layout be? have a 300gb drive but dont want to use all of it for ubuntu | 06:31 |
| bazhang | crwlr: no worries; the best bet is to install ubuntu regular then activate the repos for studio and add from that | 06:31 |
| chap | kr00l: if you like you can install the desktop version and tack on the server package | 06:32 |
| ppibburr | adrock: sudo gedit /media/<point>/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:32 |
| bazhang | crwlr: what is installed first? ubuntu/xp/vista? | 06:32 |
| crwlr | nothing...bare system, bazhang | 06:32 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. so it didn't work before because i was giving a path to a link....which was on the desktop...but now it will work because i am giving the root source? | 06:32 |
| kr00l | chap: how so? | 06:32 |
| ppibburr | adrock: yes | 06:32 |
| bazhang | crwlr: uh sorry let me rephrase; what do you want to install first? this will be a dual boot? | 06:32 |
| crwlr | bazhang: eh, think i will dual boot with vista just in case i get bored with ubuntu every now and then and feel some counter-strike comin on | 06:33 |
| riotkittie | andoatnp: try booting again. it's been so long since i've seen the menu on that disc but there should be an FKey option that will let you pass kernel options. Get to that line, remove 'quiet' and replace splash with nosplash then try to boot. then tell us exactly what error it spits out when it freezes. | 06:33 |
| chap | kr00l: if you are just trying to file share and find the command line creepy, the desktop version can share over the network as well without any command-fu | 06:33 |
| bazhang | crwlr: then you might want to install vista first; that way ubuntu can pick up the install and add it to the grub menu list | 06:34 |
| chap | kr00l: its integrated into gnome pretty well | 06:34 |
| andoatnp | riotkittie: completely frozen, the cd-rom eventually stops spinning, screen is blank, no lights are flashing | 06:34 |
| crwlr | aight bazhang...i hate sitting thru the vista install...so boring... | 06:34 |
| kr00l | chap: well I want to set up a home server where i can put all my media crap and access it on any computer in my house | 06:34 |
| crwlr | bazhang: what if i put ubuntu on first? | 06:35 |
| chap | kr00l: try and see what you like. If one is too awkward you can always reinstall | 06:36 |
| bazhang | !dualboot | crwlr this may help out | 06:36 |
| ubotu | crwlr this may help out: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 06:36 |
| kr00l | chap: yeah i'll have to get used to ubuntu desktop first | 06:36 |

| yao_ziyuan | i went to gnome-look.org and found a theme called Nimbus | 06:39 |
| yao_ziyuan | shown here | 06:39 |
| nano__ | Hey, If my router isnt working with linux, how would I modify it (settings wise) so that it does? | 06:39 |
| yao_ziyuan | that makes ubuntu really worth living in | 06:39 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. will this command to rebuild the boot image work from LiveCD? It looked like it worked: sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic? | 06:39 |
| ppibburr | adrock: which image? | 06:40 |
| CruCio | Indygunfreak ? | 06:40 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=306528 levander a small discussion here | 06:40 |
| ppibburr | adrock: the liveCD or the harddisk's | 06:40 |
| yao_ziyuan | ubuntu displays chinese characters better than kubuntu because it installs a set of chinese fonts made free by a taiwan company | 06:40 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. HD | 06:40 |
| CruCio | when terminal says su: authetication failure what must i do ? | 06:40 |
| yao_ziyuan | but still some characters such as "you" have an irregular style | 06:40 |
| cafuego | CruCio: use sudo, not su. | 06:41 |
| cafuego | CruCio: 'sudo -s' for an interactive root shell. | 06:41 |
| CruCio | ok | 06:41 |
| levander | bazhang: Thanks, but that thread just says to use procmail in some specific case. | 06:41 |
| yao_ziyuan | is there a way to hide a program's taskbar button in ubuntu? | 06:41 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. yeah i think it did | 06:41 |
| crwlr | bazhang: i found a guide that shows me how to get the grub back after i install ubuntu then vista. should work good | 06:41 |
| ppibburr | adrock: i think you updated the livecd and will loose it at reboot | 06:41 |
| yao_ziyuan | in kubuntu i can click Window Special Settings -> Skip Taskbar | 06:41 |
| CruCio | cafuego what does "sudo -s" does?? | 06:42 |
| cafuego | CruCio: it starts a root shell | 06:42 |
| CruCio | root@localhost:~# | 06:42 |
| bazhang | crwlr: okay; good luck! | 06:43 |
| CruCio | what do i type in there ? | 06:43 |
| crwlr | bazhang: you bet! i enjoy a good challenge! | 06:43 |
| cafuego | CruCio: ... provided the user running it is permitted to do so in the /etc/sudoers file. | 06:43 |
| cafuego | CruCio: What do you mean "what do i type in there" ? | 06:43 |
| ppibburr | adrock: i think you need to us chroot | 06:43 |
| CruCio | hmm | 06:43 |
| CruCio | n/m | 06:43 |
| CruCio | does it helps install files ? | 06:44 |
| crwlr | crucio: type sudo -s | 06:44 |
| CruCio | ok | 06:44 |
| ArthurArchnix | yao_ziyuan: Sorry, don't understand. What do you mean hide pograms task bar? You can remove them all by removing window list from the panel. | 06:44 |
| cafuego | CruCio: Ubuntu doesn't use 'su' . Instead, you get root privileges by using sudo. | 06:44 |
| yao_ziyuan | ArthurArchnix: i don't want certain programs to show their buttons on the taskbar | 06:44 |
| ppibburr | venger: in as i made my distro, i added a user to sodoers, worked in chroot, but the liveinstnce it says parse error in sodoers | 06:45 |
| Phuzion | !webserver | 06:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about webserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:45 |
| Phuzion | !lamp | 06:45 |
| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:45 |
| yao_ziyuan | ArthurArchnix: for example, if you run ubuntu in vmware, you may not want the vmware toolbox application to occupy taskbar space | 06:45 |
| CruCio | cafuego | 06:45 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. how do i rebuild the HD boot image which I have just modified by modifying the menu.lst and /etc/usplash.conf files (keep in mind I am on the LiveCD)? Do I use the sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic command? | 06:45 |
| didkoddd | hey | 06:46 |
| didkoddd | :) | 06:46 |
| CruCio | i try the it but it wont allow me to install jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin | 06:46 |
| didkoddd | anybody here? | 06:46 |
| crwlr | crucio: what's the deal? | 06:46 |
| CruCio | it says permission denied | 06:46 |
| cafuego | CruCio: You don't want to do that anyway. | 06:46 |
| CruCio | why ? | 06:46 |
| ppibburr | adrock: you will have to chroot to the hdd's / | 06:46 |
| crwlr | crucio: type sudo apt-get install jre-6u3..... the rest of it | 06:46 |
| cafuego | CruCio: The jre is available as a package from within Synaptic. | 06:46 |
| cafuego | CruCio: no! | 06:46 |
| bazhang | levander: the only other (non-bug) link I found was asking users to learn mutt :{ | 06:46 |
| cafuego | crwlr: No! it's an rpm installer! | 06:46 |
| crwlr | oh.... | 06:47 |
| crwlr | nvm then | 06:47 |
| CruCio | jre-6u3 and what are the ........ ? | 06:47 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. chroot to the hdd's, how is this done? | 06:47 |
| crwlr | crucio: listen to cafuego!!!! | 06:47 |
| CruCio | k | 06:47 |
| cafuego | CruCio: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 06:47 |
| cafuego | CruCio: Or use synaptic and install sun-java6-jre. | 06:47 |
| ppibburr | adrock: in terminal > sudo chroot /media/<point> | 06:47 |
| cafuego | CruCio: Just check that in the repository preferences you have 'Multiverse' enabled. | 06:48 |
| CruCio | cafuego | 06:48 |
| CruCio | It says :broken package | 06:48 |
| cafuego | CruCio: otherwise it might not find the package. | 06:48 |
| ppibburr | then mount /proc and /sys | 06:49 |
| CruCio | i did , catfuego, i found sun-java6-jre | 06:49 |
| CruCio | but it couldn't check and install | 06:49 |
| CruCio | there are an error | 06:49 |
| crwlr | then ur doing something wrong... | 06:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | yao_ziyuan: Yeah, I get it now. I'm just looking online. | 06:49 |
| ppibburr | crucio: i read sub-java6 was broke or something and the alt is to be used | 06:49 |
| crwlr | bazhang: seems to be working well now | 06:50 |
| CruCio | alt is to be used ? | 06:50 |
| bazhang | crwlr: congrats! | 06:51 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. i'm tired. and i'm going to try to get this done before bed, so i apologize. if i start saying really stupid things, then I'm just going to log off. I don't know what chroot does. but do i type: sudo chroot /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:51 |
| CruCio | sun-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-03-0ubuntu2) | 06:51 |
| ppibburr | adrock :no | 06:51 |
| ThreeFingerPete | had some trouble with x and gnome and my keyboard settings. I got that settled, but now when I go control-alt-F1 the keyboard settings in there are still messed up. how do I set that as well? | 06:51 |
| ppibburr | adrock: chroot /media/disk | 06:52 |
| ppibburr | adrock: sudo of course | 06:52 |
| CruCio | : Package sun-java6-bin has no installation candidate | 06:52 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. then mount /proc and /sys? | 06:52 |
| ppibburr | adrock: yes, then in that terminal your root / enviroment is actually /media/disk | 06:53 |
| cafuego | CruCio: Just check that in the repository preferences you have 'Multiverse' enabled. | 06:53 |
| cafuego | CruCio: otherwise it might not find the package. | 06:53 |
| cafuego | Like I said. | 06:53 |
| CruCio | k | 06:54 |
| ppibburr | adrock: so then act like your were atually using your hdd | 06:54 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. so then i can rebuild the HD Grub image by running the update command as: sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic | 06:54 |
| adrock358 | ? | 06:54 |
| ppibburr | adrock: yes | 06:55 |

| misslecommander | quaal: i did all the updates, let me see if i can find it on my machine Gutsy GnomeX | 06:57 |
| quaal | yea i'm in gutsy and gnome | 06:57 |
| CruCio | should i also uncheck Source code ? | 06:57 |
| misslecommander | quaal: are you using system monitor to view that process ? | 06:57 |
| quaal | misslecommander, the only way metacity will start is if i run it manually | 06:57 |
| quaal | and thats a pita | 06:57 |
| ppibburr | adrock: odd | 06:57 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 186: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied | 06:58 |
| misslecommander | quaal: look a "view" select "my processes" | 06:58 |
| misslecommander | quaal: in system monitor | 06:58 |
| quaal | misslecommander, for what reason | 06:58 |
| CruCio | cafuego, i had multiverse unabled should i uncheck it ? | 06:59 |
| misslecommander | quaal: to show the process, i see it on mine, and i did all the updates | 06:59 |

| ArthurArchnix | yao_ziyuan: Looks like the answer is no. People who want this feature replace the window manager. Metacity / gnome window_list applet can't do it. Compiz on the other hand... that may be different. You should head over to #compiz and ask about this feature. | 07:00 |

| jumpkick | misslecommander: there is nothing wrong with my xorg.conf... the "nvidia" driver can't be compiled and installed... the configuration worked before Jan 18th | 07:11 |
| jediael | genewitch | 07:11 |
| zetheroo | is there a way to hack the iPod so it can be just drap and drop? | 07:11 |
| Martinzz | hi, I need to hok the wireless up, please help | 07:11 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. Is there any way to undo the damage I have done without reinstalling? All I was doing was following a guide to decrease boot time (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580903&highlight=slow+boot). and by mistake I entered the wrong screen resolution. Now every boot has a kernel panic. | 07:11 |

| Martinzz | ~hook | 07:11 |
| misslecommander | jumpkick: one question> can you get to desktop at all ? | 07:11 |
| jumpkick | misslecommander: I can do the dpkg --reconfigure on the xserver, but the nvidia binary driver won't work | 07:11 |
| Martinzz | Anybody knows an app for wireless | 07:12 |
| misslecommander | jumpkick: that answers my question | 07:12 |
| Martinzz | to make my life easier | 07:12 |
| misslecommander | Martinzz: what kind of app you looking for ? | 07:12 |

| zetheroo | has anyone gotten the new iPod Nano to sync in Ubuntu? | 07:12 |
| Martinzz | something so I can get online using a wireless signal | 07:13 |
| jumpkick | misslecommander: not until I can start the X server, which can't happen until I can install the Nvidia binary driver, which must be the 167.07 or .09 version because the gutsy distro I run has an old 100.x driver that doesn't work with my Nvidia 7050 | 07:13 |

| genewitch | arooni fsck? | 07:14 |
| genewitch | or are you looking for smart monitoring software? | 07:15 |

| genewitch | Arooni try a google search for "linux s.m.a.r.t." | 07:16 |
| ppibburr | adrock: check in those directories, see if you have a file with a timestamp or ~ or .back | 07:16 |
| zetheroo | JDLimbo: they all seem to mount it fine and sync the library and copy the music just fine.... | 07:16 |
| zetheroo | JDLimbo: but once the iPod is unmounted there is nothing in the Music area | 07:16 |
| genewitch | FSCK will check your file systems though. | 07:16 |
| misslecommander | JDLimbo: yw | 07:16 |
| JDLimbo | zetheroo, well... are you putting in mp3's or m4a's? | 07:17 |
| zetheroo | JDLimbo: mp3's | 07:17 |
| JDLimbo | I don't know if that would actually be an issue, but you could try with some m4a's and see if that works | 07:17 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. i dyin. open up the files to search for those symbols or just the title should have them? thank you. | 07:17 |
| CruCio | How am i suppose to know what my architecture is ? | 07:18 |
| ppibburr | adrock: title | 07:18 |
| ppibburr | arch | 07:18 |
| CruCio | ppibburr | 07:18 |
| genewitch | crucio in a terminal window type uname -a | 07:19 |
| crwlr | is it better to have all my music .mp3 or .ogg or .m4a? | 07:19 |
| CruCio | yes | 07:19 |
| CruCio | type what ? | 07:19 |
| genewitch | uname -a | 07:19 |
| ppibburr | arch | 07:19 |
| CruCio | uname -a ? | 07:19 |
| genewitch | or arch | 07:19 |
| CruCio | ok | 07:19 |
| genewitch | hehe | 07:19 |
| CruCio | ?? | 07:19 |
| JDLimbo | crwlr it really depends on personal preference. those are all lossy formats, so sound quality won't really be affected | 07:19 |
| CruCio | hmm | 07:19 |
| CruCio | its ppc64 | 07:19 |
| crwlr | jdlimbo: a big 10-4 on that bozz | 07:20 |
| genewitch | crucio architecture means like i386, i686, x64, stuff like that | 07:20 |
| ppibburr | powerpc 64-bit | 07:20 |
| CruCio | Tue Dec 18 10:47:41 UTC 2007 ppc64 GNU/Linux | 07:20 |
| CruCio | yes | 07:20 |
| crwlr | got my whole cd collection on my desktop...about 20k songs...didnt feel like converting them anyways :p | 07:20 |
| CruCio | i can't find any sun-java6-bin for ppc64 :( | 07:20 |
| JDLimbo | although, .ogg has yet to achieve widespread acceptance in terms of media devices like ipod or zune. | 07:21 |
| crwlr | dont use either of em, jdlimbo, so im good | 07:21 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr no time stamps or anything i don't think but i'll keep looking | 07:21 |
| misslecommander | !java | 07:21 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 07:21 |
| misslecommander | dont know that will help but | 07:21 |
| EcoBlue | so now that I run ubuntu, what "must-have" apps are there for it | 07:22 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr yeah i don't think so none of that stuff. | 07:23 |
| soldats | EcoBlue, depends on what you want to do | 07:23 |
| JDLimbo | EcoBlue, I like amaroK for music management, azureus for torrenting. | 07:23 |
| genewitch | So to reiterate my problem, I have a synaptics touchpad that is not functioning at all. The evdev is in lsmod, it's listed in xorg.conf, but xorg.0.log saying that no repeaters found and it unloads the module. I can't seem to figure out how to get SHMConfig to work, for some reason. | 07:24 |
| JDLimbo | a lot of the built in apps are more than functional | 07:24 |
| ppibburr | adrock: you need to undo the changes, but i assume you built the kernel with the changes | 07:24 |
| adrock358 | ppiburr, so essentially I'm stuck at trying to update the boot image. I have changed all necessary files. Is there a way around this? What was "nope nvm," which you described to me earlier? Thanks. | 07:24 |
| genewitch | synclient, gsynaptics, etc won't work cause SHMConfig won't load. | 07:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: evdev? Do you mean you have a touchscreen or a touchpad? | 07:25 |
| mhall | has anyone gotten ndiswrapper to work yet? | 07:25 |
| EcoBlue | soldats: network hacking? | 07:25 |
| genewitch | touchpad | 07:25 |
| vontux | hi, is there a reason why the xorg.conf file from the ubuntu live-cd won't work when copied to my hard drive installation? | 07:25 |
| CruCio | is there a difference in PPC64 and PPC ? | 07:25 |
| genewitch | All the stuff said to type lsmod |grep evdev | 07:25 |
| pr0nGuy | What's a good program to store names and addresses? | 07:25 |
| genewitch | and make sure evdev was listed | 07:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Ok... if memory serves evdev is for touchscreens. | 07:25 |
| adrock358 | ppiburr. right, which I have done. but I need to rebuild. but I cannot. | 07:25 |
| * genewitch shrugs | 07:25 | |
| genewitch | maybe synaptics uses the same basic commands or something | 07:26 |
| soldats | EcoBlue, define hacking | 07:26 |
| vontux | hi, is there a reason why the xorg.conf file from the ubuntu live-cd won't work when copied to my hard drive installation? | 07:26 |
| n2diy | prOnGuy, any spreadsheet? | 07:26 |
| EcoBlue | soldats: I dunno, having fun with windows? | 07:26 |
| genewitch | ettercap is my favorite network tool, EcoBlue | 07:26 |
| JDLimbo | o hai guise how does I can hax plzkthx | 07:26 |
| pr0nGuy | n2diy: that's what I'm using now. I just thought there would be something nicer that someone could suggest. | 07:27 |
| ppibburr | adrock: did the rebuild command give any ouput to hint at success? | 07:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Hang on... ah no. That was something else. ok, well what are you trying to do. I just spent the other day learning about synaptics and xorg. | 07:27 |
| JDLimbo | linix gud fer dat amirite | 07:27 |
| soldats | EcoBlue, this isnt really the place for that kind of question. this is for tech support. but "SSH" is your friend | 07:27 |
| n2diy | prOnGuy, ok, do you want to put together mailing lists and stuff like that? | 07:27 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: Ok, my touchpad is unresponsive. the xorg log says it's unloading the module because there's no repeater | 07:27 |
| Richard_Balls | I messed around with xorg.conf and now when I start X I get a blank screen | 07:27 |
| Richard_Balls | how can I restore? | 07:28 |
| adrock358 | can I back up my files to my ipod and reinstall. i only have a few gigs of stuff i want. and then the network configuration stuff i wan b/c that took a while | 07:28 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: I was trying different things on different forums and websites, and i ended up breaking the xorg completely, so now i have a fresh install | 07:28 |
| JDLimbo | *kof*airmon-ng*kofkof* | 07:28 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr.can I back up my files to my ipod and reinstall. i only have a few gigs of stuff i want. and then the network configuration stuff i wan b/c that took a while | 07:28 |
| ppibburr | richard: the xorg.conf will have timestampded backuos(s) use one | 07:28 |
| pr0nGuy | n2diy; that's another possibility, but mostly I need just a regular address book. I see a bunch in synaptic. Just wondering what might be good. | 07:28 |
| Richard_Balls | ppibburr, how? | 07:28 |
| ppibburr | adrock: sure | 07:29 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Fresh install, that's good. So the first thing you should do is "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg/conf.orig | 07:29 |
| Richard_Balls | from recovery mode | 07:29 |
| genewitch | roger | 07:29 |
| JDLimbo | genewich: from now on, 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup | 07:29 |
| ppibburr | adrock: thats why i like, '/home' as a partition | 07:29 |
| JDLimbo | er what he said | 07:29 |
| Richard_Balls | oh hey will that work for me too | 07:29 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: done. | 07:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: That command backs up your xorg. So that if it gets messed up, all you have to do is get to a shell and then copy the xorg.orig back over xorg.conf | 07:30 |
| genewitch | JD i had it backed up | 07:30 |
| adrock358 | ppibburr. i think i'm done man. thanks for the info and stuff | 07:30 |
| n2diy | prOnGuy, ok, I haven't tried to set up anything like a mail merge, but would hope Openoffice can do that? For now I just keep my contact info. in OO, and or Gnumeric. | 07:30 |
| ppibburr | richard: in a terminal -> s /etc/X11 | 07:30 |
| misslecommander | ppibburr: whats the advantage of having /home on its own partition ? | 07:30 |
| ppibburr | adrock: welcome | 07:30 |
| genewitch | JDLimbo: but it locked me out completely and i didn't know the command to tell it text only instead of gui boot to fix it | 07:30 |
| Martinzz | WOHOOOO!! got it! | 07:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: You have to boot into recovery mode. | 07:31 |
| JDLimbo | later on, from a recovery terminal, 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup' saveas xorg.conf | 07:31 |
| JDLimbo | err | 07:31 |
| JDLimbo | notsure, might have to use vim | 07:31 |
| JDLimbo | gedit probably doesn't work in text only mode. | 07:32 |
| misslecommander | genwitch: Ctrl Alt F1 at login screen wont work ? | 07:32 |
| CruCio | is anyone here on ps3 ? | 07:32 |
| genewitch | JDLimbo: it didnt give me a console | 07:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Doesn't matter. You've got a clean install now. You say it's unresponsive? I guess you've tried to install gsynaptic and make it more sensitive? | 07:32 |
| genewitch | misslecommander: nope, nor f2-f9 | 07:32 |
| pr0nGuy | n2diy: ok. but I am using spreadsheets already. I'm looking into "contacts" | 07:32 |
| Richard_Balls | ppibburr, 's:command not found" | 07:32 |
| JDLimbo | genewitch: you go into the recovery mode from the GRUB menu, I believe | 07:32 |
| misslecommander | genewitch: ok | 07:32 |
| ppibburr | richard: ls | 07:32 |
| soldats | genewitch, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" will recreate your xorg file to the basics and ready to use | 07:33 |
| pr0nGuy | n2diy: ok. "rubrica" looks like another option. | 07:33 |
| genewitch | soldats: thanks, i know that. but i couldn't get a console up. | 07:33 |
| JDLimbo | like, as your computer is first booting up | 07:33 |
| genewitch | was just a black screen | 07:33 |
| n2diy | prOnGuy, well, I don't know whether it is capable of doing what you want, but Korganizer is a great calendar/todo list program. | 07:33 |
| soldats | ok well when you get terminal.... | 07:34 |
| pr0nGuy | n2diy: I'm looking for something simple that my family can use as an addressbook. | 07:34 |
| ppibburr | sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.cof.stamp /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:34 |
| JDLimbo | mm, evolution isn't simple enough? | 07:35 |
| neeto | sometimes I will find myself unable to type in certain windows and I will have to restart the program who fathered the window in order for it to be fixed. is this a known issue? | 07:35 |
| achandrashekar | hello all..does anyone have experience with setup of an ltsp environment?? | 07:35 |
| JDLimbo | a good idea may be to have a backup on an external disk | 07:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Well, now that you've got a fresh install, have you installed gsynaptic yet? | 07:35 |
| JDLimbo | neeto: a little more context please | 07:35 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: apt-get is busy so i have to wait a moment | 07:36 |
| pr0nGuy | n2diy: actually "contacts" is more for phone and PDAs. I'm installing "rubrica" for the desktop. | 07:36 |
| neeto | JDLimbo: it's hard to give, the problem is intermittent. | 07:36 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: but when i installed it last time, it said you need "option SHMConfig on" in xorg.conf | 07:36 |
| genewitch | so i did that. i also tried "true" instead of "on" | 07:36 |
| misslecommander | neeto: have heard, but, i had to change my keyboard type so the pc-speaker wouldnt beep when i typed | 07:36 |
| genewitch | but synclient -l said SHMConfig isn't enabled | 07:36 |
| misslecommander | neeto: havent heard | 07:36 |
| neeto | hmm | 07:37 |
| neeto | now that you mention it, I think it might have to do with SCIM | 07:37 |
| neeto | I'll look into it | 07:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Yeah, here's a link with where to put it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205594 scroll down to #7 | 07:37 |

| _Codeman_ | I seem to have lost my title bars... all of them... I have restarted a few times and they do not return... can anyone help me get them back? | 07:38 |

| fatedkiss | i tried to use it and my mic was working fine, then it stopped | 07:38 |
| neeto | _Codeman_: what window manager are you using? | 07:38 |
| JDLimbo | _Codeman_, are you using compiz-fusion? | 07:38 |

| neeto | fatedkiss: so your capture is running fine, but skype isn't picking up your mic at all? | 07:40 |
| JDLimbo | _Codeman_, click it, then in the command field type 'gtk-window-decorator' | 07:41 |

| fatedkiss | neeto, or at least the capture on alsamixer | 07:41 |
| crdlb | JDLimbo: that doesn't really work on ubuntu due to compiz-manager | 07:42 |
| misslecommander | JDLimbo: it wont change anything if i choose not to right ? | 07:42 |
| neeto | fatedkiss: what is your sound capture device? | 07:42 |
| crdlb | _Codeman_: nvidia? | 07:42 |
| genewitch | is ctrl-alt-backspace gunna kick me off IRC? | 07:42 |
| _Codeman_ | Yes | 07:42 |
| fatedkiss | neeto, no idea really would that be the same as my sound card? | 07:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | Technically, you're going to kick yourself off... but yes. | 07:42 |
| Luria | _codeman_ try "compiz --replace &" in a shell for the moment | 07:42 |
| misslecommander | i searched Yelp for ccsm, it had no entries | 07:42 |
| genewitch | ok i'll be right back | 07:43 |
| JDLimbo | misslecommander if you don't change anything in the menu that pops up, then nothing will be changed | 07:43 |

| n2diy | achandrashekar: If your looking for Thin Terminals, Edubuntu is designed for that, and the server too. #edubuntu. | 07:48 |
| bruce__ | thanx n2diy ill save the link. do you know of any other ones i can download (i put them on a psp so i can read on the bus) | 07:48 |
| quaal | how do i make the gnome login screen (gdm?) the correct resolution (1280x1024) | 07:49 |
| JDLimbo | _Codeman_, misslecommander http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion | 07:49 |
| n2diy | bruce__: no I don't, except for #ubuntu! ;) | 07:49 |
| crdlb | _Codeman_: yes, emerald caused that | 07:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: post output of lspci to pastebin | 07:49 |
| crdlb | _Codeman_: it has its own theme format, and will not use your metacity theme | 07:49 |
| JDLimbo | ahh... I know nothing of emerald. | 07:50 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: is pastebin on ubuntu.com | 07:50 |
| bruce__ | ok thanx | 07:50 |
| achandrashekar | n2diy: I suppose I could use that just right of the box..I was being bold in understanding what ltsp clients were offered. Im understanding "how" the client actually loads..its more academic in nature for me right now to learn why/how it works. | 07:50 |
| Luria | _codeman_ see the emerald theme manager | 07:50 |
| soldats | !paste | genewitch | 07:50 |
| ubotu | genewitch: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 07:50 |
| Jambon_ | anyone know why I can't play videos? | 07:50 |
| n2diy | achandrashekar: fine business, I don't know much about it either, but I'm interested in it. | 07:51 |
| JDLimbo | Jambon_, ehh.. nope. What kind of computer you got? | 07:51 |
| achandrashekar | Jambon_: likely because you are missing some restricted packages | 07:51 |
| JDLimbo | that could be it too | 07:51 |
| Jambon_ | the weird thing is this started happenin yesterday | 07:51 |
| Jambon_ | it was working before | 07:51 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52984/ | 07:51 |
| Jambon_ | and I haven't messed with the video settings | 07:52 |
| achandrashekar | n2diy: its a bit interesting...at least according to this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto | 07:52 |
| penars | emacs isn't installed on xubuntu by default? | 07:52 |
| Luria | penars, no | 07:52 |
| genewitch | nope, penars | 07:52 |
| penars | how come | 07:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: And what's the make and model of your laptop? | 07:53 |
| genewitch | cause it has nano and vim | 07:53 |
| Luria | cause its supposed to be small | 07:53 |
| genewitch | medion uh | 07:53 |
| JDLimbo | man that would piss me off. Movies = about 2/3's of everything I do with my computer | 07:53 |
| Luria | well, not full vim either, but thats an apt-get away | 07:53 |
| quaal | how do i make the gnome login screen (gdm?) the correct resolution (1280x1024) | 07:53 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: you need the model number? | 07:53 |
| genewitch | It's dark :-) | 07:54 |
| JDLimbo | quaal, that's a little tougher | 07:54 |
| genewitch | brb, flashlight | 07:54 |
| quaal | JDLimbo, its like cut off shorter | 07:54 |
| quaal | looks weird | 07:54 |
| JDLimbo | this is more of an ubuntu room, you're going to have to talk to some gnome people | 07:54 |
| Jambon_ | JDLimbo: my computer is a laptop with a radeon 9200 mobility. I've been having issues with getting an external monitor to work without the laptop screen being on, but I gave up on that. After I got thing back to normal things were find until yesterday. Now I can't watch any videos, in either movie player or vlc | 07:54 |
| JDLimbo | they have big ol' docs at their website, lemme see what I can find | 07:54 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: MD40812 | 07:55 |
| genewitch | medion | 07:55 |
| n2diy | achandrashekar: yes, and I'll take a look at that shortly. Are you aware of the #ubuntu-marketing channel? They aren't very active as of yet. But could be of help promoting Thin Clients and Servers to local schoolS | 07:55 |
| JDLimbo | hrm | 07:56 |
| n2diy | *schoolS/schools? | 07:56 |
| quaal | anyone here run a wrap device | 07:56 |
| genewitch | my CUE key is broken | 07:56 |
| genewitch | like the first letter of uall's name | 07:56 |
| genewitch | hehe | 07:56 |
| bdancer | re | 07:57 |
| JDLimbo | Jambon_, just 'sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg' or something of that nature... | 07:57 |
| achandrashekar | n2diy:really!!!!??????Holy moly!!! sweet! Im a teacher and we could use the help! | 07:57 |
| JDLimbo | that's the first thing I would try | 07:57 |
| achandrashekar | will be on there in 1 sec | 07:57 |
| Jambon_ | JDLimbo: k | 07:57 |
| achandrashekar | n2diy: in pomona california....low socioeconomic kids...mainly hispanic | 07:58 |
| bdancer | can someone help me? is it possible to set console resolution to 1650x1050? | 07:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | hey genewitch the next time you reboot, instead of booting normally, go into grub, go to the ubuntu 7.10 kernel option, press 'e' to edit, go to the end of the line and type this, without quotes "i8042.nomux", put a space after splash or something. Then hit esc (I think) and press 'b' to boot. | 07:58 |
| JDLimbo | umm | 07:58 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: tried that | 07:58 |
| genewitch | will try again | 07:58 |
| n2diy | achandrashekar: roger, waiting for you at #ubuntu-marketing. | 07:58 |
| genewitch | brb | 07:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: You're using Gutsy? | 07:59 |
| JDLimbo | hope I gave him the right command | 07:59 |
| olskolirc | does Gutsy have a version of glibc? I can find it in repository | 07:59 |
| olskolirc | !glibc | 07:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about glibc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:59 |
| BloodyScum | has the problem with x been fixed yet, is it safe to update it now? | 07:59 |
| olskolirc | !glib | 08:00 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about glib - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:00 |
| Ambisi | Why doesn't XChat-Ubuntu have any icon for it? | 08:00 |
| olskolirc | good question BloodyScum | 08:00 |
| bdancer | BloodyScum, apt-cache show libc6 | 08:00 |
| _Codeman_ | thanks again | 08:01 |
| ppibburr | ?glibc | 08:01 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: no go on the i8042.nomux | 08:01 |
| genewitch | i'm gunna change "on" to "true" | 08:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Give me one more try.. I'm losing hope though. I've seen reports that non-debian systems are working ok.... like Fedora 8 maybe. They have a live cd did you try that? Asking, not suggesting. Just trying to narrow down the problem. | 08:02 |
| genewitch | no, i haven't tried anything else | 08:03 |
| genewitch | most of the people | 08:03 |
| genewitch | having problems with synaptics are trying to turn it off, or get the scrolling functions to work | 08:03 |
| Jono | Hi, I just had a quick question. I am a noob when it comes to Ubuntu, I went through the installation process of the LAMP server, and now it is promting me with Maxivik login: but it says my password is wrong | 08:03 |
| genewitch | mine just doesn't functon | 08:03 |
| grekkos | Ubuntu isn't connecting to my network automatically -- what can I do to fix this?' | 08:03 |
| crwlr | bazhang: well bud, i got my desktop setup with 7.10 and it's running very nicely. i will be messing with the twinview tomorrow, think you will be around to help me out with that? | 08:04 |
| bdancer | grekkos, do u use Network Manager in tray? | 08:04 |
| grekkos | bdancer: if that's what this icon in the tray is called | 08:04 |
| bdancer | grekkos, it runs perfectly for me | 08:04 |
| Jambon_ | JDLimbo: still no luck. restarted x and same thing. video is just black with audio | 08:04 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: i'm gunna ctrl-alt-backspace, back in a jiffy | 08:04 |
| grekkos | bdancer: it used to run ok i had to disable some option that was making it try to use wireless internet or something -- my desktop is hardwired | 08:05 |
| grekkos | bdancer: this is a clean install now on the same machine | 08:05 |
| JDLimbo | quaal, http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/2.8/gdm.html maybe there's something in there | 08:05 |
| bazhang | crwlr: well I'm not much of an expert, but likely will be around if you want my very limited assistance :} | 08:05 |
| genewitch | ok back | 08:06 |
| Onyx | crossover office is a piece of crap | 08:06 |
| bdancer | grekkos, so how it work now? only manual change every time? or what? | 08:06 |
| crwlr | aight, its all good, bazhang. just about time for me to crash. got a long day of work in 6 hours | 08:06 |
| Vie_imoet | hi... can some1 help howto connect 2 hotspot using kubuntu | 08:06 |
| bazhang | cya | 08:06 |
| JDLimbo | Jambon_, what exactly did you try to do to get the external monitor? | 08:06 |
| grekkos | bdancer: well i usually just run dhclient manually, let me try rebooting now though I changed an option in the tray icon's menu maybe it will stay like this | 08:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | Yeah... hey, genewitch can you post the output of dmesg to pastebin. That's a log of your boot up messages, any errors that the kernel experienced trying to initialize your synaptic driver should show up there. | 08:07 |
| misslecommander | how do you run dhcp manually ? the dhcp conf file ? | 08:07 |
| grekkos | sudo dhclient | 08:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | i'm using ubuntu but my boot screen is "kubuntu". how do i change it to ubuntu? | 08:07 |
| grekkos | in a terminal | 08:07 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: sure, need xorg.0.log or anything else? | 08:07 |
| misslecommander | thank you | 08:07 |
| grekkos | or sudo dhclient (device) | 08:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | Nah... I don't think this is an xorg issue. | 08:07 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: very well, two ticks | 08:07 |
| bdancer | grekkos, but there is an option of dhcp in network manager i guess | 08:08 |
| BloodyScum | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969 prevous x bug that i think has been fixed | 08:08 |

| joenet | hi... can some1 help me howto connect 2 wireless hotspot using kubuntu | 08:08 |
| === Onyx is now known as Onyx|Sleep | ||
| grekkos | bdancer: I guess really all I was looking for is where the network manager is -- I remember i had to change some gui option to get it working | 08:08 |
| grekkos | bdancer: i think xrandr will change resolutions from console | 08:08 |
| bdancer | )) | 08:08 |
| ppibburr | joenet: do you have knetworkmanager? | 08:08 |
| Jambon_ | JDLimbo: well the laptops screen doesn't work, so I hooked up an external monitor. all I tried was to tell the scree and graphics manager the model of my monitor so I could get better refresh rates. Ended up in safe mode. Reverted to default, and now after a while of work videos don't play. might it be an update problem? | 08:08 |
| joenet | yes | 08:09 |
| bdancer | grekkos, nop... not from console but for console )) | 08:09 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52987/ | 08:09 |
| ppibburr | joenet: is your wireless iterface up? | 08:09 |

| [chr0n0s] | grekkos, which ethernet contoller you have? | 08:12 |

| rootborn | can some one help me to make my wireless of my laptop to work ? | 08:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | how do i change the splash screen back to "ubuntu"? | 08:13 |
| Jambon_ | same old same old even after that | 08:13 |
| grekkos | [chr0n0s]: i remember to fix this the last time I installed I had to open some kind of network manager GUI and disable it | 08:13 |
| simion314 | JDLimbo: laptop | 08:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | i installed kubuntu-desktop, so the splash screen is "kubuntu" despite i reconfigure gdm | 08:13 |
| JDLimbo | simion314, toshiba satellite? | 08:13 |
| joenet | ppibburr: no, wireless are not shown | 08:13 |

| ArthurArchnix | hmm.... genewitch can you unplug your mouse, reboot, then once you log in, run dmesg again and repost? | 08:13 |
| genewitch | sure thing | 08:14 |
| [chr0n0s] | knetworkmanager in KDE works fine | 08:14 |
| genewitch | does that update each time? | 08:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Yeah, it's last boot log. | 08:14 |
| grekkos | [chr0n0s]: i'm using gnome | 08:14 |

| JDLimbo | Jambon_, sorry man, I'm stumped | 08:14 |
| [chr0n0s] | grekkos, look for the network manager of gnome | 08:14 |
| grekkos | [chr0n0s]: i'm pretty sure it's trying to use some wireless network assistant program, and I have no wireless adapter | 08:14 |
| genewitch | or can i plug it in before i type dmesg | 08:14 |
| ppibburr | ctl-altf3 | 08:14 |
| bod_ | grekkos, a message says "The current controls them does not support colour schemes" | 08:14 |
| simion314 | JDLimbo: it has 2 volume buttons and my little kid pres on them until i habe no sound | 08:14 |
| genewitch | ok, be back in a couple then | 08:14 |
| grekkos | bod_: What did you do to get this message? | 08:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Well, login manager should pop up, log in, then hit alt+F2, then hit gnome-terminal | 08:15 |
| Nubbie | bod_: then get a new theme. | 08:15 |

| creature | Hello. I have recently installed Ubuntu. Ubuntu has decided it wants to use my onboard soundcard rather than my actual soundcard (a PCI card). How do I convince ALSA to forget about the motherboard and use the PCI card instead? | 08:19 |
| Jambon_ | bod_: it has stopped working on videos that were working | 08:19 |
| JDLimbo | Jambon_, just out of curiosity, what is your video chipset? nVidia? ATI? Intel? | 08:19 |
| bod_ | Jambon_, recent update? | 08:19 |
| Junkee | creature: did you disable onboard sound in your bios? | 08:19 |
| Jambon_ | JDLimbo: ati mobility 9200 | 08:20 |
| Jambon_ | it's working fine otherwise | 08:20 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52988/ | 08:20 |
| Jambon_ | except for the whole dual monitors thing | 08:20 |
| duvnel1 | creature: either disable in bios or do a blacklist of your onboard in /etc/modules | 08:20 |
| creature | Junkee: I don't think so. But I'm not sure I'd want to. I don't mind the soundcard being there, and I may want to use it in future, but it's not the primary card. | 08:20 |
| duvnel1 | creature: there are also sound prefs under the system menu | 08:21 |
| duvnel1 | .. to select default | 08:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: It is as I feared, this has nothing to do with 'X'. The kernel doesn't detect your touchpad. | 08:22 |

| JDLimbo | well now you know! learn something new every day, that's what I say | 08:24 |
| ppibburr | forget 5 old things too :) | 08:24 |

| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Ok... well, there's nothing wrong with 'xorg'. The kernel isn't detecting your touchpad. Here, take a look at my output. If you search or scroll down to line 314 you'll see what it looks like when ubuntu's kernel detects a touchpad. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52989/ In yours, I can't find any remark about detecting a touchpad. | 08:26 |

| Negromancer | Hello. My sound has stopped working for reasons unknown to me. I tried to dpkg-reconfigure alsa and it didn't fix it. I do not know what else to try. | 08:34 |
| ArthurArchnix | Wrong link. | 08:34 |
| genewitch | hehe clipboard error | 08:34 |
| lupos\royman | genewitch: yea ofc, but how do i do so someone can write /connect irc.mydomain.com ? its all fixed when installing the ircd? | 08:35 |
| olskolirc | Gutsy doesn't have glibc? | 08:35 |
| ppibburr | joenet: you need the restriced packages | 08:35 |
| genewitch | well | 08:35 |
| JDLimbo | negromancer what kind of computer do you have | 08:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52990/ so as I was saying, if your kernel was detecting your touchpad you'd see this second entry. | 08:35 |
| genewitch | that depends, is irc.mydomain.com a different IP than say www.mydomain.com? | 08:35 |
| Negromancer | IBM thinkpad a31p | 08:35 |
| lupos\royman | genewitch: no, they're the same, they're both om my computer | 08:35 |
| ppibburr | joenet: net up? | 08:35 |
| genewitch | ok make sure that you have * set to mydomain.com's ipaddress | 08:36 |
| rootborn | this is my output from lsmod | grep ipw2200 : ipw2200 149320 0 | 08:36 |

| Kassah | All my icons disappeared recently from OpenOffice... is this a common problem? is there an easy fix? | 08:36 |
| genewitch | i am assuming you're using dyndns or something similar. Go ahead and give them the domain name and port for your computer, and make sure you have the ports forwarded in your firewll | 08:36 |
| joenet | ppibburr:now i'm nt in PGSD hotspot range | 08:36 |
| lupos\royman | genewitch: at the dns provider? or in the ircdconfig | 08:36 |
| genewitch | if the ircd is running they'll be able to connect | 08:36 |
| genewitch | DNS provider | 08:36 |
| joenet | ppibburr:i'll try it later | 08:36 |
| lupos\royman | genewitch: yea using no-ip.com | 08:36 |

| misslecommander | i tried to keep it as simple as possible | 08:39 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Well, here's the bug report for your laptop, and your issue. It would be really great if you could contribute to this bug report before trying another distribution. Maybe then we could get you back for Hardy. As it is, the poster reports success with PClinuxOS, and both Fedora8 and Suse10.2 have live cd's, so you can try them and see if the touchpad works before choosing one. | 08:39 |
| Xabriel | I though I had set up the boot menu, but whenever I boot up I go into the grub command line; just grub> | 08:39 |
| co_sendirian | anybody help me? | 08:39 |

| ppibburr | vontux: hehe | 08:46 |

| vontux | ppibburr: so I did try recreating xorg.conf for the new machine, but to no avail | 08:46 |
| genewitch | same one, but when you download the targz in the INSTALL file it says how to enable it in kernel | 08:46 |
| fatedkiss | Madpilot, what would you say is better? | 08:47 |

| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Maybe. Depends on who you catch here. Certainly not me. last question, output of: sudo modprobe -l | grep mouse | 08:49 |
| th0r | timetravel0 then the short answer to your question is probably no...unless the univ has made arrangements for one of those three you won't be able to get into the gui via ssh | 08:50 |

| misslecommander | genewitch: doesnt seem to be any FIFO on my chat, so i have to /clear it once in a while | 08:53 |
| rmaj | what can one learn about the chattr (and the extended file modes)? | 08:53 |
| genewitch | i'm using pidgin, which seems fairly nice, actually | 08:53 |
| ppibburr | me too | 08:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Yeah. And the same as mine. I was just seeing if you had the same modules loaded. You must need another driver. If we knew which one, we could just try a modprobe -drivername which is a lot easier than recompiling the kernel. | 08:53 |
| rootborn | joenet, I'm Intel as well | 08:54 |
| kane77 | pidgin is great, but I only use it for IM, I don't like irc in it | 08:54 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: the drivers end in so or ko? | 08:54 |
| ppibburr | rootborn: suggest a google search for ubuntu wireles and any information about the chipset and driver | 08:55 |
| genewitch | let me get that driver from telia and read the install again. | 08:55 |
| misslecommander | maybe there is a setting for it, but i couldnt find it, but, it would relog me in auto even if i chose to disconnect | 08:55 |
| neeto | Is there a way to turn on the screensaver immediately after entering a certain command, if yes, what is this command? | 08:55 |
| joenet | rootborn:my wifi was set up automatically... im using kubuntu 7.10 | 08:55 |
| D4rXz | why ICQ not running in GAIM..?I'm use distro ubuntu now... | 08:55 |
| Javid | is there a way to take a screenshot of your screensaver in action? | 08:56 |
| D4rXz | I'm try to login ICQ but nothing respon .. | 08:56 |

| GHz | Hello, I need help. My pc is running very slow, so slow I have to use my friends pc to do anything!!! Now I tried to close one terminal and they all quit ARG!!! | 08:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: You should ask some more people about this before recompiling... I'm not convinced it will help. Those links you gave me, am I missing something? What did you see in them that led you to think a recompile would fix it? | 08:56 |
| genewitch | ArthurArchnix: can you do me a favor and pastenbin your xorg.conf? | 08:57 |
| joenet | rootborn: switch it on and use knetworkmanager | 08:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch,If you like. but if I know anything, it's that your kernel doesn't detect your touchpad. And xorg just configures some of the hardware detected by your kernerl. So if this is related to your touchpad issue... :( | 08:58 |

| rootborn | joenet, yes eth1 | 09:07 |
| rootborn | is my wireless | 09:07 |
| rekon | dgjones, I figured as much but I have been banned from other networks and channels after a bot joined and kicked all the idlers. I was just making sure. Thanks :) | 09:07 |
| rootborn | and eth0 is LAN | 09:07 |

| jay-oh-en | GHz, yeah but firefox is horrible but its the only thing i use | 09:08 |
| joenet | rootborn:answered by ppibburr | 09:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | genewitch: Yeah. And when I run this: sudo cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep Touch* my touchpad shows up. I don't expect yours will. It just filters the results so they're easier to search. | 09:08 |

| joenet | rootborn:is your wireless not shown if you right click knetworkmanager? | 09:09 |
| dgjones | rekon, bots are banned here unless they're official ones from the channel operators, occasionally get a spambot, but they get dealy with quickly | 09:09 |
| vincent_ | hey anyone feel like helping me out quickly? | 09:10 |
| GHz | jay-oh-en: it runs deeper than firefox though, I had irssi open in one terminal, was gonna get info in a nother terminal from cat /proc/cpu, and every terminal was turminated | 09:10 |
| rootborn | joenet, I had only kde install now I intsall kubuntu-desktop | 09:10 |
| rekon | dgjones, awesome..thanks for the info. First time on this chat, hopefully I can learn a few things :) | 09:10 |
| dgjones | !ask > vincent_ | 09:11 |
| brubelsabs | Is there a howto on how to create man pages? I've heard that DocBook XML would be great. | 09:11 |

| vincent_ | Well, i am running kubuntu.. but i run apt get, to try to update the package lists, it hangs when it tries to connect to archive.ubuntu.. my internet is only 256k, and im in australia, so is it possible to either 1) find a better connection, or 2) download everything i need without using apt-gets in built downloader? | 09:12 |
| vincent_ | sorry dgjones, i didnt want to sound rude :p | 09:13 |
| ke1 | i just loaded 7.04 and my wireless card immediately was recognized at the top, even with wpa, but when i installed kubuntu, it went away and now when i reinstalled 7.04 my wireless card is gone and so is kubuntu. anyone have a clue about this? | 09:13 |

| vincent_ | ahh i see | 09:14 |
| ke1 | anyone have a clue? | 09:14 |
| Madpilot | kama, you'll have to reinstall w/ 32bit | 09:15 |
| ppibburr | ke1: you went back to uuntu from kubuntu? | 09:15 |
| ke1 | yes | 09:15 |
| ke1 | tried to | 09:15 |
| ppibburr | how? -desktop or actual installs? | 09:15 |
| kama | mad - you have a keen sense of the obvious | 09:16 |
| ke1 | reformatted my hard drive and it still won't recognize kubuntu or my network card anymore | 09:16 |
| kama | note my question was is there an 'easier way' | 09:16 |
| ppibburr | but ubuntu is up? | 09:16 |
| amb_ | Hi at all | 09:16 |
| ke1 | misslecommander, u have any ideas about this? | 09:16 |
| Madpilot | kama, I try. Sarcasm aside, far as I know there is no easier way than just reinstalling... | 09:16 |
| ke1 | yes, ubuntu is up | 09:17 |
| vincent_ | hey when people apt-get update, does it list the archive.ubuntu.com IP as 1.0.0.0? | 09:17 |
| ppibburr | kama: mad is right | 09:17 |
| chazco | I've given up on getting Ubuntu to work fully, so need to get windows back... is a duel-boot system the best option, or would XP with Gusty under Virtualbox be better? | 09:17 |
| GHz | FINE!!! | 09:17 |
| amb_ | does someone knows something about ubuntu combined with vista | 09:17 |
| * GHz kicks pc | 09:17 | |

| jay-oh-en | how come everytime i click the shutdown button at the top right it freezes my X but i can still click things but nothing happens\ | 09:17 |
| brubelsabs | kama: You've to regard, that every binaries are 64Bit, every libs etc.. just reinstall => it is the easiest way! | 09:17 |
| ke1 | what are they? | 09:17 |
| ppibburr | ke1: err wait, desktop or laptop? | 09:18 |
| amb_ | because i instaled ubuntu on a vista system now ubuntu works but vista because of disk crc not eaven if everything is readable | 09:18 |
| alfatau | hello, i've a mobility radeon 9600. two month ago i tried installing ubuntu 7.10 with compiz but graphics acceleration never worked properly neither following many tutorial to enable it, so i came back to a clean version without compiz. Now i changed the hard drive so i've to reinstall the entire system. I red there are new drivers for my graphic card released few days ago. Will i be able to finally enable compiz effects with these new drivers? | 09:18 |
| kama | brub - that could have just as easily been written in swahili for all I understood | 09:18 |
| genewitch | alfa last time i tried with ATI anything compiz and xgl and all that gave me heartburn. just so you know | 09:19 |
| kama | can i do it online by chance? | 09:19 |
| genewitch | :-) | 09:19 |
| brubelsabs | kama: reinstall from scratch, it is the easiest solution# | 09:19 |
| misslecommander | ke1: i have to read back to see what you were talking about | 09:19 |
| brubelsabs | when defining easiest as: with least effort | 09:19 |
| ppibburr | kama: everything is compiled for 64bit, 64 is not 32 so no work :) | 09:19 |
| ke1 | thanks | 09:19 |
| helix_ | hey what is the minimum system requirments any of you have pushed XUBUNTU on? | 09:20 |

| amb_ | hi, sonone who nows help if you need both Vista and ubuntu? | 09:20 |

| kama | 64 has trouble with flash | 09:21 |
| dgjones | helix_, 400 mhz pentium with 128Mb ram, it worked, although was a bit slow | 09:21 |
| prophY | i ran linux with xfce at first on a celeron 333, 64 mb ram | 09:21 |

| snaktt | hello | 09:22 |
| misslecommander | jay-oh-hen: try another bit depth like 16 or 24, another resolution mode 1024x768 | 09:22 |
| ke1 | misslecommander: i just loaded 7.04 and my wireless card immediately was recognized at the top, even with wpa, but when i installed kubuntu, it went away and now when i reinstalled 7.04 my wireless card is gone and so is kubuntu. anyone have a clue about this?i bought the 7.04 ubuntu book today and the first time i loaded it, it worked great until i loaded kubuntu. for some reason kubuntu took away my wpa is why i reformatted and started over aga | 09:22 |
| Balachmar | Because I would want to help to translate hardy into dutch, but I can't seem to find out how to use launchpad | 09:22 |
| bullgard4 | What is the reason that gnome-system-monitor always consumes so much CPU time (10% on my Intel M processor)? | 09:22 |
| kama | any bets on if flash will get fixed during the bush administration? | 09:22 |
| ppibburr | hahahha | 09:23 |
| jay-oh-en | misslecommander, i have it formatted perfect what would that do? | 09:23 |
| misslecommander | ke1: does it show up in Network Settings ? | 09:23 |
| Balachmar | For example there are a few translations that need review, but I cannot let anyone know which of the options I prefer. | 09:23 |
| ke1 | nope | 09:23 |
| amb_ | does somewone knows something about driving Vista and ubuntu? | 09:24 |
| misslecommander | ke1: do you see something like Wireless connection ? | 09:24 |
| ppibburr | Tixer | 09:24 |
| ke1 | i've even tried installing a different wireless card, the same make and model and that did not show up either. neither does a netgear wirless pcmcia card that goes with my router. | 09:24 |
| chazco | I've given up on getting Ubuntu to work fully, so need to get windows back... is a duel-boot system the best option (but this would involve a massive partitioning resize and lost space), or would XP with Gusty under Virtualbox be better? | 09:24 |
| misslecommander | ke1: you are using System/Administration/Network correct ? | 09:24 |
| ke1 | yes | 09:25 |
| symtab | is there a ubuntu multimedia repository? | 09:25 |

| symtab | ? | 09:25 |
| dgjones | !medibuntu | symtab | 09:25 |

| symtab | thanks | 09:25 |
| symtab | vincent_, yeah | 09:26 |

| GHz | like compiz-fusion, and X | 09:26 |
| dgjones | symtab, thats a good place to start for codecs / apps for playing dvd's etc | 09:26 |
| vincent_ | oo sounds good sym, tell me if you find one ;) | 09:26 |
| misslecommander | ke1: the thing you are lookign for is "Wireless connection" when you click on Network, if "Wireless network" isnt visible, nothing i can tell you can make it work | 09:26 |
| vincent_ | GHz: compiz-fusion, is it any good? | 09:26 |
| misslecommander | ke1: if you see it, you can double-click on it, to configure | 09:26 |
| ke1 | yes, i have that | 09:27 |
| misslecommander | ke1: then anable it by making sure the box is checked | 09:27 |
| GHz | it works(better than Vistas Arrow crap) ;) | 09:27 |
| EADG | What file would I need to edit to change the text color during verbose bootup? | 09:27 |
| misslecommander | ke1: you double click , setup what your SSID and WPA are, then enable it by checking it ? | 09:27 |
| symtab | DGJ, ok | 09:27 |
| symtab | tganks | 09:27 |
| misslecommander | ke1: if you dotn enable it, the settings mean nothing, the system cant even talk to it | 09:28 |
| ke1 | i tried that too. wpa does not show up at all | 09:28 |
| ke1 | i understand | 09:28 |
| ke1 | how do i get wpa back? | 09:28 |
| misslecommander | ke1: just a second | 09:29 |
| GHz | I can't for the life of me figure out why everything runs so damn slow >:< | 09:29 |
| ke1 | it won't even connect with wep | 09:29 |
| misslecommander | ke1: you have to match it to the router, not doing that wont connect you to internet | 09:29 |
| ke1 | my router is set to wpa | 09:30 |
| GHz | how do I shut down X | 09:30 |
| misslecommander | ke1: what is it eth0 eth1 ? or something else ? | 09:30 |
| ke1 | i have changed it back and forth several times to no avail | 09:30 |
| helix_ | Hey whenever I install Xubuntu on a system Live CD or Alt Install I get an ATA EMask error at start up and can't seem to diagnose the problem | 09:30 |
| misslecommander | GHZ power button corner, or press Ctrl Alt Del and select | 09:31 |
| ke1 | ath0 & wlan0 | 09:31 |
| helix_ | it's driving me crazy as it slows boot times to up to three minutes | 09:31 |
| helix_ | gets stuck and throws me a numerical sequence about emask ata errors | 09:31 |
| t94xr | ath0 wlan0 are Wireless Network ports | 09:31 |
| GHz | select what? | 09:31 |
| misslecommander | ke1: ok wlan0 ? | 09:31 |
| ke1 | yes | 09:31 |
| misslecommander | ok | 09:31 |
| t94xr | eth0 eth1 eth# are network ports - cable, cat5/cat6 and such | 09:32 |
| ke1 | wlan0:avahi | 09:32 |
| misslecommander | ok that will work, seeing avahi i know your ip is something like 169 | 09:32 |
| ke1 | yes | 09:33 |
| misslecommander | ke1: dotn do anything, i will be back | 09:33 |

| chazco | I've decided a duel-boot is the best way to get windows back... is there a quick non-destructive way to repartition? | 09:34 |
| ke1 | i have no problem with reformatting again, but each time I have, i never get it to recognize my card again even after swapping out cards. and it does not show kubuntu either as an option to load via synaptic | 09:35 |
| ke1 | why would it not reload kubuntu? | 09:35 |
| vincent_ | does anyone know why, when i try to update, it returns archive.ubuntu as having an IP of 1.0.0.0, but when i ping it it has a true IP? | 09:35 |

| EcoBlue | I don't like KDE | 09:43 |
| JDLimbo | try gnome | 09:43 |
| EcoBlue | so that answers your question ke1 | 09:43 |
| EcoBlue | JDLimbo: I'm running that now | 09:43 |
| ke1 | not yet | 09:43 |
| misslecommander_ | how hard is it to switch over to KDE ? that require another install ? | 09:44 |
| ke1 | i am glad to have kubuntu back, but i still need wpa | 09:44 |
| rekon | vincent_ sorry for the late reply...but have you tried checking out these threads on ubuntu forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53354&highlight=apt-get+1.0.0.0 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60223&highlight=apt-get+1.0.0.0 | 09:44 |
| GHz | I am pissed off at the slowness, in windows xp I can watch video from youtube, on firefox. in ubuntu I can't | 09:44 |
| ke1 | yes, you go to synaptic and look up kubuntu-desktop and install it from there. | 09:44 |
| === rocco is now known as cbx33 | ||
| EcoBlue | GHz: got the graphics drivers | 09:44 |
| GHz | what do you mean? | 09:45 |
| EcoBlue | okay, what graphics card you got? | 09:45 |
| ke1 | u catch that missle? | 09:45 |
| misslecommander_ | ke1: that is set for open routers, it may work on WPA. if you set your WPA and SSID within Network Settings then just do > sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 09:46 |
| GHz | nvidia geforce fx 5200 | 09:46 |
| misslecommander_ | ke1: yes | 09:46 |
| EcoBlue | GHz: did you enable the drivers | 09:46 |
| brubelsabs | In FHS 2.3 there is the naming convention for /usr/share/man on page 24, but Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't follow this. Why? | 09:46 |
| EcoBlue | GHz: system > admin > restricted drivers | 09:46 |
| EcoBlue | brubelsabs: FHS 2.3 is what? | 09:47 |
| misslecommander_ | ke1: after that do > sudu dhclient if it doesnt work the first way, but you still need to set your SSID and pass method | 09:47 |
| GHz | yeah I got those | 09:47 |
| ke1 | so, without seeing wpa as an option, go ahead and run that first command and then the second one u just now gave? | 09:47 |
| drkat | Question: I removed the lower panel in my desktop and I want programs to minimize to the top panel - how do I configure that? | 09:47 |
| EcoBlue | GHz: okay that's the extent of my knowledge | 09:47 |
| drkat | using gnome - sorry | 09:47 |
| brubelsabs | EcoBlue: Filesystem Hierachy Standard | 09:47 |
| brubelsabs | and even 4.04 claimed to be FHS 2.3 compliant | 09:48 |
| GHz | what does that have to do with anything? | 09:48 |
| misslecommander_ | ke1: i would think if the card is enabled, you get root access > sudu -i then type > sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart if everything as already been setup | 09:48 |
| ke1 | i don't have wpa as an option right now, so you're saying to run those two commands and i will get them back? my router is already set to wpa | 09:48 |
| ke1 | k, i will try that | 09:49 |
| GHz | I'm going to windows this suxorz | 09:49 |
| misslecommander_ | ke1: setup what you need it Network Settings. then do both them if need be | 09:49 |
| simmerz | GHz: what are you trying to do? | 09:50 |

| simmerz | GHz: so where is the problem? | 09:51 |
| * simmerz wonders how watching YouTube videos is productive | 09:51 | |
| GHz | it's better than sleeping all day | 09:52 |
| misslecommander_ | ke1: editing the conf file is hard to explain in easy terms. | 09:52 |
| DEAD_ZOMBIE | it depends on what are you watcing | 09:52 |
| simmerz | GHz: still not exactly productive, but that's my view and not what we're discussing here. so what doesn't work? examples? | 09:52 |
| GHz | every thing becomes greyed when I try to watch a youtube video, and also when I do other things like bring up system monitor | 09:54 |
| DEAD_ZOMBIE | i think i need a ubuntu cd firs for checking if it works | 09:54 |
| misslecommander | ke1: i have Gnome and Firefox issues, i will post to pastebins, and you have to figure it out for yourself | 09:55 |
| DEAD_ZOMBIE | try kosheen | 09:55 |

| misslecommander | i am about ready to make use of this partition , and put it to good use, good windows use, in which i have no issues, i spend more time fixing and typing root pass than anything | 09:56 |
| genewitch | does anyone know what repo i have to add to get the devel packages for the stuff i have installed? | 09:56 |
| GHz | maybe I should downgrade to an old copy of red hat that I have | 09:56 |
| misslecommander | all of them | 09:56 |
| genewitch | like kernel devel and xf86-devel | 09:56 |
| erUSUL | genewitch: they are on the same repo | 09:56 |
| ikonia | genewitch they are in the same repo | 09:56 |
| chazco | Anyone here syncing a PocketPC with Windows on Virtualbox (gusty host)? If so... how did you do it? :) | 09:57 |
| genewitch | what's the linux kernel package called then, cause make xconfig is failing | 09:57 |
| chazco | Having one last attempt at keeping just Ubuntu | 09:57 |
| EcoBlue | I got a palm to sync like that | 09:57 |
| EcoBlue | I downloaded the non-OSE version of vbox | 09:57 |
| ikonia | chazco: I've not done it, but as I recall you hav eto do it over virtual USB, as things like bluetooth couldn't be emmulated | 09:57 |
| chazco | Trying it currently, it was detected the first time and wont connect any more | 09:57 |
| EcoBlue | then used the USB host controller to select it | 09:57 |
| ikonia | genewitch: thats probably QT your missing | 09:57 |
| EcoBlue | and then installed the drivers and it worked | 09:57 |
| coolbhavi | How to import contacts in kopete? | 09:58 |
| chazco | I've noticed the lack of bluetooth (try passing a bluetooth USB adapter through is interesting)... | 09:58 |
| chazco | EcoBlue - pretty much what i tried, it wont work anymore :( | 09:58 |
| ikonia | genewitch: if you can't figure out the dependencies for the kernel interface, then ask your self should you be really messing with the kernel | 09:58 |
| EcoBlue | chazco: that sucks | 09:58 |
| coolbhavi | I have a hotmail and a gmail address book | 09:58 |
| ikonia | chazco: I think it's just a bug in the emmulation | 09:58 |
| brubelsabs | no one could tell if 7.10 is FHS 2.3 compliant? | 09:58 |
| chazco | They're the final few reasons why Im having troubles with Ubuntu | 09:58 |
| ikonia | chazco: there is a thrad on the fourm, but I'm sure it's burried | 09:58 |
| misslecommander | ke1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53003/ and http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52994/ | 09:58 |
| ikonia | brubelsabs: no, it's not | 09:58 |
| erUSUL | genewitch: make xconfig needs qt devel libs | 09:58 |
| misslecommander | sorry but you are on your own, you can figure it out with those. | 09:59 |
| achadwick | genewitch: packages related to your kernel: COLUMNS=300 dpkg -l "*`uname -r`*" | 09:59 |
| chazco | Cant sync PocketPC, cant sync phone, keyboard issues... thats it really, but still highly annoying | 09:59 |
| chazco | ikonia - I've probably read every thread about synce and virtualbox now :D | 09:59 |
| ikonia | chazco: I remember reading this, but I've never experienced/used it myself | 09:59 |

| misslecommander | anyone suggest the most stable linux ? | 10:00 |

| brubelsabs | ikonia: I want to write manpages... but I don't know where to put those in /usr/share/man/de_DE or just /usr/share/man/de | 10:01 |
| GHz | the one I keep hearing is good, is gentoo | 10:01 |
| ikonia | misslecommander: if you can't figure out how to configure not typing roots password, it's good that it prompts you to do so for your own safter | 10:01 |
| chazco | Ubuntu still has too many crashes for a Linux distro, but it isnt bad (and i dont think most of them are Ubuntu itselfs problem though) | 10:01 |
| ppibburr | Tixer: how goes with the usb live? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | chazco: exactly | 10:01 |
| icesword | misslecommander, what u mean? | 10:01 |
| misslecommander | if this is the best then i dont even know i will put my time into it, i am fed up with the constant crashes, from day 1, it did the same thing, i cant even get anything done, before it dies, that is sad | 10:01 |
| ikonia | misslecommander: ok, great. Thanks for trying. | 10:01 |
| rekon | lol | 10:01 |
| misslecommander | i dont mind helping others, only because i went through the same things, and i managed to get around the issues, but its constant | 10:02 |
| misslecommander | not the place to say this i know, please excuse me | 10:02 |
| user11_011 | how do we see shared folders under places->network | 10:03 |
| chazco | I'm hoping a simple PS2->usb adapter will solve the keyboard issue... then all i need is for either the phone or the PPC to sync | 10:03 |

| ikonia | naranha: I've had this issue with ubuntu 6.06 in the past, let me see if I have my notebook with me | 10:08 |
| naranha | it's just that the gui frontend is not working, i'm using gutsy | 10:08 |
| erUSUL | snaktt: no problem ;) | 10:08 |
| ikonia | naranha: I'm not aware of a gui for ntp - so that bit I can't help on | 10:08 |
| ppibburr | made another build of my livesystem, off to test, later folks | 10:08 |
| naranha | well it's just the normal date properties integrated in ubuntu, where you can select the time manually or use ntpd synchronization | 10:09 |
| naranha | the "synchronize now" button is greyed out too | 10:10 |
| naranha | grayed | 10:10 |

| Oli`` | pvh_sa|wrk: is it detecting any disks? are they in raid already? is it "fake" software raid? | 10:50 |
| Oli`` | pvh_sa|wrk: if you answered yes to those questions, you should be able to install dmraid while in the livecd without needing to restart | 10:51 |
| Oli`` | pvh_sa|wrk: as seen here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 10:51 |

| ikonia | brubelsab1: brubelsab1 no - it also has the verious man pages eg: man1, man6 etc | 12:13 |
| asdwds | so i said to myself iif i past again maybe someone answer me | 12:13 |
| asdwds | :D | 12:13 |
| LimCore | how to get exact kernel that ubuntu uses + .config file, so I can tune it a bit and rebuild? | 12:14 |

| Joe_ | I have two GPUs, GeForce 6200 and Quadro NVS280. For some reason Xorg.0.log says the Quadro is incompatible and therefore GLX support is turned off on it... could that cause hard locks randomly while running things like VLC or firefox on that card? | 12:15 |
| marco_pt | ikonia, kile spell checker config is at kcontrol center :\ | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Joe_: the quadro needs different drivers as I recall | 12:15 |
| ikonia | marco_pt: file spell checker ? for what ? | 12:15 |
| Joe_ | I checked, both(according to Nvidia) are supported by 169.07 | 12:15 |
| brubelsab1 | ikonia: but how do I get a concrete path to the file holding the content for "man ls" /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz | 12:15 |
| ikonia | brubelsab1: for each man page there are multple pages (eg: try man 6 ls) | 12:16 |

| bytecode | Vspike: I find it strange that you can't instantiate a module binding for introspection without it kicking into full operation though - surely that's not flexible practice. It'd be like the equivalent of rm --help telling you what it does and then deleting all of your files "just because" you'd referenced it. I'd love to compare behaviour further, except that I can't get 3D or compiz running on my ATI RV380 [Radeon X600] under dual | 12:16 |

| Joe_ | ikonia, Arima_souichirou I've been trying to debug this hard lock issue for weeks... and if this is really the cause then I can easily switch which GPU my monitors are connected in(so I can keep the layout I like) and just not move certian apps to the other windows | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Joe_: just having a read | 12:17 |
| asdwds | ewrgt3wt | 12:17 |
| brubelsab1 | ikonia: but for each such manpage a file like "ls.X.gz" exists which holds the info. I need to know which files is associated with e.g. "man foobar" | 12:17 |
| marco_pt | ikonia, i said Kile. Spell check for kile (latex) | 12:17 |
| VSpike | bytecode: yeah, it does seem very strange... do you think i should report it on launchpad? | 12:18 |

| glaxo | VSpike: I'm not sure what you mean exactly | 12:34 |
| nemilar | Pici: yeah, that's a really annoying bug | 12:35 |
| tim168 | Pici so i should look in ~/.Trash or something ? | 12:35 |
| kitche | blue42: install a cd burning application and for dvds you would need growisofs to burn them | 12:35 |
| mahmoud_ | tim168: what was the file location? | 12:35 |
| Dr_willis | look in the root directory of the media. not your home dir | 12:35 |
| nemilar | tim168: what he's saying is not only is there a ~/.trash but there's also trash directories on your other mounts | 12:35 |
| tim168 | mahmoud_ the file was in my home folder | 12:35 |
| Pici | nemilar: Exactly. | 12:35 |

| chazco | Ah, found it (the srerver i tried wasnt answering) | 12:39 |
| blue42 | How do you set up a burning group? | 12:40 |
| chazco | Is it possible to use the 7.10 restricted nvidia driver on .04? I | 12:40 |
| bazhang | dont expect support if you do chazco | 12:41 |
| VSpike | glaxo: the creds file was owned by the user, and the mount point was too.. and the user would issue the mount command | 12:41 |
| chazco | Thats the trouble I have... Gusty breaks keyboard + web... 7.04 doesnt like my graphics card... nothing likes my PocketPc or phone... | 12:41 |
| nemilar | blue42: you mean, a group that has permissions to burn CDs? | 12:41 |
| Javid | expecting support is a long shot no matter what | 12:41 |
| ikonia | chazco: lets put things into context | 12:41 |
| ikonia | chazco: nothing likes your ppc or phone - well no, your using an emmulator, that's not meant to be used how your using it | 12:42 |
| ikonia | chazco: how does gutsy break "keyboard and web" | 12:42 |
| blue42 | yeah but it's just me who uses the computer | 12:42 |
| chazco | I tried using synce - the PDA hard resets.... The Samsung will only allow me to dialout | 12:42 |
| nemilar | blue42: so why do you need a group, then? | 12:42 |
| naxa | hi! i've problem mounting cifs. i do "sudo mount -t cifs //server/shared /mnt/server/shared -o user=xxx,password=xxx" but it gives the "wrong fs type, etc." error | 12:43 |
| chazco | The keyboard doesnt respond till i do a replug (but dmesg shows it as being fine)... the web wont let me work on the uni intranet without changed tcp_window_scaling... | 12:43 |
| naxa | all directory exists | 12:43 |
| ikonia | naxa: smbfs ? | 12:43 |
| glaxo | VSpike: that's interesting, my creds file was owned by the user as was the mount point. however I did not try doing "mount -a" as opposed to "sudo mount -a" | 12:43 |
| kitche | nemilar: umm I suggested the group | 12:43 |
| ikonia | naxa: do you have cifs module loaded ? | 12:43 |
| naxa | ikonia, smbfs cannot handle hungarian chars, and is very old... | 12:43 |
| chazco | The web issue i've managed to work-round by adding some commands to the boot scripts... the other ive had no luck. Bought a PS2/USB converter which didnt help. | 12:43 |
| naxa | ikonia, lsmod says so | 12:43 |
| blue42 | well maybe i just need the permission to burn then - that's what i want to do | 12:43 |
| naxa | ikonia, also, tabbing //server/ works | 12:43 |
| ikonia | naxa: sounds a good start then, try mounting it as smbfs to make sure | 12:44 |
| nemilar | blue42: you're trying to burn but you're getting Permission errors? | 12:44 |
| blue42 | no i'm getting burn failed notices | 12:44 |
| Daremonai | is there a way to do something under linux as a different user: ex: I want to edit a file in /home/user2 but its only accessable by user2 (not even root) is there a way to run the program as user2, kinda like sudo, but just as user2 not as root? | 12:44 |
| nemilar | blue42: does the burn start at all, or does it fail before it begins? | 12:45 |
| chazco | Will my v4l-dvb (custom compiled) drivers stand much chance of working on 7.04? | 12:45 |
| Daremonai | i know i could chown it, but i don't want to change the ownership. | 12:45 |
| nemilar | Daremonai: "su" is the switch user command | 12:45 |
| blue42 | yeah it does start | 12:45 |
| naxa | ikonia, it gives the same wrong fs type error | 12:45 |
| Daremonai | ah nemilar i thuogh su = super user hehe :) thanks | 12:45 |
| nemilar | Daremonai: "su bob" will switch user to bob...obviously you have to know bob's password. Or you could switch to root and then to bob. | 12:45 |
| ikonia | naxa: is't being shared out ok ? | 12:45 |
| naxa | ikonia, pardon? | 12:45 |
| Lsi_ | Daremonai: su user2 -c command! | 12:46 |

| ikonia | BlackAlex the flash package is broke ? | 12:48 |
| BlackAlex | uh. | 12:48 |
| ikonia | naxa: I'm not talking about checking the IP. Contact your network admin and make sure that share is still available | 12:48 |

| nemilar | BlackAlex: does your dmesg show them all detected | 12:50 |
| nemilar | ? | 12:50 |
| BlackAlex | yeah they are all detected just fine... | 12:50 |
| BlackAlex | its moreover when ubuntu needs the ubuntu disk | 12:50 |
| BlackAlex | its not finding it for some reason. | 12:50 |
| nemilar | BlackAlex: you mean when you try to install a package from CD-Rom or something? | 12:50 |
| BlackAlex | yeah | 12:50 |
| nemilar | hmm | 12:50 |
| nemilar | Did you try it in all 3 drives? maybe it's not searching all the mountpoints | 12:51 |
| IdleOne | BlackAlex: solve that issue by removing the cd deb line from /etc/apt/sources.list you do not need it | 12:51 |
| nemilar | yeah, that would be a better solution if you have broadband | 12:51 |

| IdleOne | !flash | laughzilla_ | 12:56 |
| ubotu | laughzilla_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:56 |
| BlackAlex | IdleOne: thanks for that little fix... | 12:56 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 12:56 |
| laughzilla_ | thanks! :) :) | 12:56 |

| nemilar | blue42: I've had that error come up before on a brand new drive, I RMA'd it and my replacement worked fine | 13:06 |

| blue42 | nemilar- so the drive might be faulty? what's RMA'd it? | 13:07 |

| tmann102 | can someone tell me why gpart and qtparted both stop on "searching for devices" | 13:11 |
| mp_spyder89 | when should i hit ctrl-alt-f1 | 13:11 |
| BlackAlex | laughzilla_ are you still asking about flash? | 13:11 |
| kitche | mp_spyder89: when the gdm loads up | 13:12 |
| mp_spyder89 | ok | 13:12 |
| laughzilla_ | blackalex - yes because the help page doesn't tell me how to install it on this kind of box | 13:12 |
| AmirB | Hey guys. As much as I'm sorry to have to do it, I have to delete Ubuntu from my computer. I'm giving it away and the new owner doesn't want linux :(. Anyways, I'm dual booting Ubuntu and Vista and was wondering how I go about deleting Ubuntu. Do I just delete the partition? I've heard some bad things about that...so how do I go about doing this oh so vexing task? | 13:12 |
| laughzilla_ | blackalex anyway i'm trying the apt-get in case it works. | 13:12 |
| mavi- | AmirB: just delete the partition | 13:12 |
| erudified | that'll leave you unbootable | 13:12 |
| mavi- | AmirB: you will need to fix the MBR to and remove grub | 13:13 |
| AmirB | ya, that's what I heard | 13:13 |
| BlackAlex | heres what i would do if i were you , but someone may bitch about me for saying this : goto www.adobe.com and download the source code for flash and build that into your distro | 13:13 |
| === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd | ||
| erudified | restore the Vista bootloader, then delete the partition and format it as NTFS | 13:13 |
| laughzilla_ | nope, it says i have the latest version, no upgrade made to my flash, blackalex. | 13:13 |
| AmirB | how do I do that erudified? | 13:13 |
| mavi- | what ever order you do it in doesnt matter | 13:13 |
| erudified | I don't know, ask in #Windows | 13:13 |
| BlackAlex | then yoou should be setup laughzilla ? | 13:13 |
| mavi- | as long as you dont turn off the computer in between | 13:13 |
| AmirB | what's MBR? | 13:14 |
| Pici | AmirB: Master Boot Record. | 13:14 |
| BlackAlex | AmirB Master Boot Record | 13:14 |
| erudified | The part of your hard drive the holds grub or lilo or the windows bootloader | 13:14 |
| AmirB | aha, and how do I "fix" it? | 13:14 |
| BlackAlex | AmirB which boot loader are you using? | 13:14 |
| AmirB | grub | 13:14 |
| OwlNoob | Hi all. | 13:15 |
| AmirB | *That's what you meant, right?* | 13:15 |
| BlackAlex | run "sudo grub-install" and see if that works for you... | 13:15 |
| BlackAlex | should re-install grub to your mbr | 13:15 |
| Pici | BlackAlex: He wants to remove linux. | 13:15 |
| ZeroA4 | AmirB, if you are giving the computer away... just delete all partitions (including windows ) and reinstall windows | 13:15 |
| OwlNoob | I think my server has encourtered an intrusion, but I am not sure how bad it is... | 13:15 |
| chris062689 | Hello people. | 13:16 |
| mp_spyder89 | no i cannot login at the tty's the screen goes black after a bunch of text | 13:16 |
| AmirB | I don't feel like doing that, and he doesn't mind getting the installed version of windows I already have on. Are you saying it's so complicated to delete ubuntu that it's more worth it to completely format the computer?! | 13:16 |
| OwlNoob | My net stat shows hundred hof lines like this : tcp 0 0 sd-xxxx.dedibox.fr:www webnix1.albacom.n:20378 SYN_RECV root 0 - ... but I don't get the meaning of it or don't know how to get rid of it. | 13:16 |
| BlackAlex | oh then.... AmirB which windows distro are you running? | 13:16 |
| BlackAlex | lol | 13:16 |
| AmirB | vista | 13:16 |
| AmirB | lol | 13:17 |
| BlackAlex | do you have your windows vista cd/dvd handy? | 13:17 |
| AmirB | should be around here somewhere... | 13:17 |
| ZeroA4 | AmirB, I think it is the easyest way... | 13:17 |
| florians | hi | 13:17 |
| florians | someone here? | 13:17 |
| erudified | OwlNoob, that's a portscan | 13:17 |
| white_eagle | hello, how can I choose which device should manage the sound? | 13:17 |
| BlackAlex | use your cd/dvd to get and click RECOVERY, select your windows vista partition, and then select "Fix Startup" | 13:18 |
| erudified | Once your box has been compromised it's pretty much impossible to trust it again | 13:18 |
| BlackAlex | doing that process will rebuilds vista bootloader. | 13:18 |
| liljekrans | Jep | 13:18 |
| BlackAlex | while it says you are using an invalid bootloader and blah blah ;) | 13:18 |
| OwlNoob | erudified: does this mean my box has been comprimised or is this just an attempt? | 13:18 |
| AmirB | blackalex, ok, and then I can just delete the ubuntu partition? | 13:18 |
| erudified | yeah that means you've been pwnt | 13:18 |
| AmirB | oh, and do I do that in windows? | 13:19 |
| erudified | portscans are running from your machine | 13:19 |
| BlackAlex | AmirB, see if you can boot into vista | 13:19 |
| BlackAlex | and then INSIDE vista, delete your ubuntu partition | 13:19 |
| OwlNoob | erudified: Nice! | 13:19 |
| BlackAlex | just to make sure you have an OS to boot into ;) | 13:19 |
| erudified | OwlNoob, first class security ;) | 13:19 |

| white_eagle | ..... | 13:20 |
| medfly | florians, how about you ask your bloody question | 13:20 |
| AmirB | ok, so let me get this straight: first I boot into vista, from there I insert my vista cd and tell it to recover the boot thingy, once that's done I restart and make sure I can still boot into vista and from there I can delete the ubuntu partition? | 13:20 |
| OwlNoob | erudified: it looks that it uses www-data user to launch the script? | 13:20 |
| Pici | carlitos: language? | 13:20 |

| BlackAlex | AmirB - boot into your cd/dvd before you boot into windows | 13:21 |
| medfly | florians, ask it in here | 13:21 |
| erudified | OwlNoob, well, on the upside that means they may not have root | 13:21 |
| kirkgo | Some people is a part of Ubuntu MOTU? | 13:21 |
| AmirB | alright, thanks! oh, and one last question, the RECOVERY thing doesn't damage any of my files or anything, right? It'll just change some system files? | 13:21 |
| white_eagle | I have multiple audio cards, how can I choose what device should manage it??? | 13:21 |
| AmirB | aah, boot into my vista cd. thanks, didn't know that | 13:22 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: point things at the correct /dev/$file | 13:22 |
| BlackAlex | if you do the FIRST OPTION (fix startup) it doesnt touch your system (the way vista is setup)... it repairs the BOOT folder in vista... | 13:22 |
| carlitos | #ubuntu-pt | 13:22 |
| BlackAlex | and restores your mbr | 13:22 |
| CrazyWulf | My maximize/minimize/close buttons are missing from my windows. How do I get them back? | 13:22 |
| white_eagle | ikonia, ?? | 13:22 |

| AmirB | thanks so much! | 13:22 |
| nemilar | CrazyWulf: did you change your theme or something? | 13:22 |
| jrib | mp_spyder89: what happens when you try to login at the tty's? Are those screens black as well? | 13:22 |
| laughzilla_ | yes blackalex i realize it should be setup now, however it's not, so i'm trying to troubleshoot it ... anyway thanks :) | 13:22 |
| florians | ok the question is not directly related to ubuntu. I have to find a title for my work. It's about how Rijndael became AES. I named the work "The Evolution of Rijndael to AES" and wanted to know if this is correct english, or if there are better ways to express it | 13:22 |
| BlackAlex | no prob AmirB | 13:22 |
| erudified | OwlNoob, ps aux will | 13:23 |
| white_eagle | !offtopic | florians | 13:23 |
| ubotu | florians: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 13:23 |
| CrazyWulf | No it's set on default right now. | 13:23 |
| AmirB | now I must go and do the unhinkable...delete ubuntu in favor of vista :( | 13:23 |
| AmirB | wish me luck! | 13:23 |
| erudified | It's hard to say, really - you can't trust the output of any executable on your machine now | 13:23 |
| BlackAlex | *traitor* | 13:23 |
| nemilar | CrazyWulf: and changing your theme doesn't help? | 13:23 |
| CrazyWulf | I looked at the different themes but changed it bacxk | 13:23 |

| tdn | I would like to use /etc/network/interfaces instead of NetworkManager. How do I do this? | 13:28 |
| tomg | tdn uninstall network manager.... | 13:28 |
| tdn | tomg, I did, and now my network does not come up! | 13:28 |
| BlackAlex | nemilar you still around? | 13:29 |
| tdn | tomg, only if I manually run dhclient, it comes up. | 13:29 |
| CrazyWulf | Any ideas on how to get my buttons back? | 13:29 |
| tomg | make an initscript | 13:29 |
| nemilar | BlackAlex: for a few more minutes, yeah | 13:29 |
| erudified | tdn, did you create appropriate entries in `interfaces` ? man interfaces is helpful | 13:29 |
| Daremonai | how do i stream titles to a shoutcast server (I use xmms)? | 13:29 |
| vlt | Hello. A few days ago I was looking for an audio player that can fade out the current track when (manually) skipping to the next one. If anyone is interested: There's a crossfade output plugin for XMMS(1) and its fork Audacious available where you can set fade durations exactly. It works fine. | 13:29 |
| chazco | Anyone know how to use USB pass-through with a PocketPC on Gusty+VirtualBox? | 13:29 |
| kitche | OwlNoob: do a ps aux just want tos ee if Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus gets outputted again | 13:29 |
| BlackAlex | nemilar - i looked at what ubuntu does and its not necessarily broke.. it checks specifically the /cdrom/ folder... and the linky to /media/cdrom | 13:29 |
| tdn | erudified, yes. I did. But it ignores them. When I run dhclient manually, it creates two new network devices, eth2 and eth3 instead of using the eth0 and eth1 I define in the interfaces file. | 13:30 |
| medfly | how do i mount a floppy from a detachable floppy drive? | 13:30 |
| erudified | dhclient doesn't make network devices | 13:30 |
| BlackAlex | for some reason the update manager isnt able to check through all my cdrom drives... hmm | 13:30 |
| BlackAlex | just because it isnt configured. | 13:30 |
| erudified | it just runs a dhcp client on one you specify... can you pastebin your interfaces file? | 13:30 |
| OwlNoob | kitche: ps aux => no warning (this was ps faux) | 13:30 |
| CrazyWulf | I'm not entirely sure when they disapeared but it could have been when I installed the kubuntu-desktop? | 13:30 |
| erudified | and the ouput of ifconfig -a too | 13:31 |

| robert44ht5 | hello, I am fairly new to ubuntu and need some help with my restricted driver instalation. it is for my Nvidia driver set. when I installed it last week, it made my screen go black and I had to re-install from scratch. Is there a way to revert back to my current drivers if it locks me up again? I did a backup, but those files will only be accesable inside of ubuntu. I did not see how to burn a backup that wont take a bunch of cd's. | 13:38 |

| Gunrun | "sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_*.deb" With this command can someone explain to me what the dpkg -i bit does? | 13:45 |
| erudified | tdn, it'd work great if you had interfaces set up properly ;) | 13:45 |
| tdn | erudified, no. It would not. | 13:45 |
| ortodox | ubuntu server change keyboard layout!!! PLEASE HELP!!! | 13:45 |
| erudified | tdn, I guess I'm just imagining the hundreds of times I've set this up successfully | 13:46 |
| kitche | Gunrun: dpkg -i means install package using dpkg | 13:46 |
| Gunrun | ah | 13:47 |
| freezey | i got an issue with apache on ubuntu... on numerous occasions when i initially try to access something it says files does not exist.. but when i reload the browser a few times something then pops up | 13:47 |
| Gunrun | so would double clicking the package work just as well? | 13:47 |
| Gunrun | these instructions are for someone else, who isn't too savy with command lines | 13:47 |
| kitche | Gunrun: yes if you have the frontend for dpkg installed | 13:47 |
| erudified | tdn, if your interfaces file contains what you say it does, the only explanation for it not working is 1.) it's a wireless card and you didn't define a station id and/or 2.) it's just the wrong interface | 13:47 |
| tdn | erudified, I do not doubt that it has been working for you, but I tell you that my problem is that /etc/network/interfaces is ignored. I have also set up a decent number os machines, and I know how to create the interfaces file. | 13:47 |
| Gunrun | well is it installed by default? | 13:47 |
| kitche | Gunrun: which is installed by default | 13:47 |
| mp_spyder89 | how do you message a peticular person on this? say i wanted to leave the message on here but specific to someone | 13:47 |
| Gunrun | right | 13:47 |
| ppibburr | anyone know how to get sound working from a debootstrap build? | 13:48 |

| Pie-rate | Pici: why can't the broken package at least be removed from the repo? | 14:31 |
| benny269 | whats difference between synaptic and add/remove? | 14:31 |
| Pie-rate | Pici: if they can't fix it? | 14:31 |
| Frikkie | hello | 14:32 |
| oddalot | where is the add/remove? | 14:32 |
| LjL | benny269: add/remove is more user friendly but shows only GUI applications | 14:32 |
| LjL | orsomething | 14:32 |
| Frikkie | I have 1 or 2 problems... anyone willing to help noob out? | 14:32 |
| Pici | Pie-rate: I dont know. I'm not on that side of the development process. | 14:32 |
| Richard_Balls | Frikkie, just ask | 14:32 |
| Frikkie | Okay. | 14:32 |
| bazhang | ask away Frikkie | 14:32 |
| benny269 | i see thank you | 14:32 |
| oddalot | add remove is for newbs | 14:32 |
| Frikkie | I am running a clean new install. | 14:32 |
| oddalot | frikkie what is the problem? | 14:33 |
| benny269 | that would be me! | 14:33 |
| bazhang | gutsy Frikkie? | 14:33 |
| oddalot | benny...use synaptic....and you will not be a noob | 14:33 |

| AmirB | I want to delete Ubuntu from my Ubuntu/Vista dual boot system, and some guys earlier said to boot into my vista cd and select to recover the bootup of vista, and then when I deleted the Ubuntu partition it shouldn't give me problems, but when I booted into my cd it told me that it found no problems with the bootup system! | 14:33 |
| AmirB | what should I do from here? | 14:34 |
| bazhang | benny269: at some point you might want to learn some command line as well; it really is much faster and intuitive as well :} | 14:34 |
| medfly | er you should look for a way to install the vista bootloader or edit your grub config | 14:34 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: is grub still visiable | 14:34 |
| AmirB | yes it is | 14:34 |
| benny269 | bazhang: I wish, I did a bit of simple basic and java coding but CLI makes no sense to me | 14:34 |
| bazhang | AmirB: you plan on reinstalling ubuntu; or using windows only | 14:34 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: do you care about windows | 14:35 |
| AmirB | I don't care much for windows, but I'm giving my machine away and the new owner doesn't want ubuntu | 14:35 |
| benny269 | oddalot: fetching now pops up a little scanning window but then disappears and nothing new has appeared under themes? | 14:35 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: if not just reinstall vista and delete all partitiions or you can rewrite the mbr for vista | 14:35 |
| AmirB | it's unfortunate, but that is the situation | 14:35 |
| bloodboy | hello i need some hep here, i need to have 5 primary partitions on my hard drive, is it possible? | 14:35 |
| bazhang | benny269: once you learn the very basic commands for adding stuff you may not go back :} | 14:35 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: if not just reinstall vista and delete all partitions during setup | 14:35 |
| inertial | AmirB: delete the ubuntu partitions and resize the vista partition | 14:36 |
| inertial | AmirB: vista uses ntfs right? there are plenty of tools for resizing ntfs | 14:36 |
| benny269 | any ideas? | 14:36 |
| oddalot | try restarting your computer? | 14:36 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: i wouldnt waste time resizing quicker to just reinstall vista fresh | 14:36 |
| AmirB | ubuntuisloved, what's an MBR and how do I rewrite it? (he wan't the vista partition as is, it's got files and programs he wants anyways) | 14:36 |
| ubuntuisloved | master boot record | 14:36 |
| bazhang | AmirB: this is more of a question for ##windows; though folks here might want to help it is not officially supported in this channel | 14:36 |
| benny269 | ok back in 2 | 14:36 |
| benny269 | also before i go | 14:36 |

| === Maneta is now known as Maneta_ | ||
| inertial | er nickserv i meant benny269 | 14:37 |
| AmirB | bazhang: ah, ok, that's good to know. so deleting ubuntu (without messing up grub) has more to do with windows than ubuntu? | 14:37 |

| erawfish | bazhang: mine does :) | 14:38 |
| ubuntuisloved | it doesnt | 14:38 |
| Richard_Balls | Frikkie, look around in /usr/bin/ and see what version is there | 14:38 |
| inertial | he could just leave grub there bazhang | 14:39 |
| LjL | Pie-rate, releasing "a .deb" doesn't necessarily mean it'll work on all versions of Debian, Ubuntu and whatever distribution uses .deb. many software houses prefer to let the distributions do the packaging job | 14:39 |
| bloodboy | i didn;t make any backup b4 installing ubuntu | 14:39 |
| kitche | x-X-x: if there is a security fix then it will be updated but it's probably not a security bug | 14:39 |
| bloodboy | is there any way to uninstall ubuntu? | 14:39 |
| erawfish | bloodboy: did you overwrite the windows partition with ubuntu data? | 14:39 |
| ubuntuisloved | bloodboy: ouch you can do a recovery on the drive | 14:39 |
| bloodboy | yes i did | 14:39 |
| kitche | x-X-x: mayeb the next version of Ubuntu will have the newer warzone | 14:39 |
| erawfish | then you need to reinstall | 14:39 |
| inertial | wow it's really a bloodbath in here... | 14:39 |
| x-X-x | kitche its not a security bug but a whole system crash | 14:39 |
| erawfish | either with the recovery CD if you have any or with the windows CD | 14:39 |
| bloodboy | i tought there can be 5 partitions in a disk... | 14:39 |
| ubuntuisloved | bloodboy: if you have important files on there you can recover them | 14:39 |
| bloodboy | can i get my data back? | 14:39 |
| mp_spyder89 | how do you mount a usb device command line? | 14:40 |
| kitche | x-X-x: most likely it won't be updated unless there is a bug on launchpad for it | 14:40 |

| xen_ | hey having probs, i put my second gta vc cd in to install via wine, but konsol or dolphin doesnt read the files in /media/cdrom0 , help please | 14:40 |
| erawfish | there can be as many as you want but if a data area is overwritten it has nothing to do with how many partitions there are | 14:40 |
| Pie-rate | LjL: ubuntu has failed at packing, then. i'm willing to bet 70-90% of desktop users want flash installed. fixing it should be a higher priority, in my opinion. | 14:40 |
| benny269 | ok and how do i stop that annoying "sounds of africa" login? | 14:40 |

| bloodboy | ok, kthx for the help | 14:41 |
| LjL | Pie-rate: perhaps, but then again it's pretty sad that the Ubuntu package has to actually fetch the tarball from the Adobe file because the license doesn't let them just package the thing. | 14:41 |
| Pie-rate | LjL: agreed | 14:41 |

| de_dustyciti | Hi guys, need help on cpufreq. Intel E2160 CPU, Ubuntu 6.10 with 2.6.17-10-generic kernel (shipped with ISO), cpufreq seems not working. modprobe either speedstep-centrino or acpi-cpufreq fails with "No such device". Any one has an idea? Thanks. | 14:44 |
| AmirB | two last questions: | 14:44 |
| Richard_Balls | Frikkie, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 14:45 |
| AmirB | 1) Does this look good enough to rewrite the MBR (or do I need something more: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/44/master_boot_record_mbr_fix_repair | 14:45 |
| AmirB | 2) Do I rewrite the MBR and then delete the Ubuntu partition, or the other way around? | 14:45 |
| ubuntuisloved | your write | 14:45 |
| Frikkie | Thank you Richard... will check it out | 14:45 |
| ubuntuisloved | i mean right | 14:45 |
| Pie-rate | de_dustyciti: i don't think edgy is supported any more, which means nothing but security updates i believe. You may have better results with 7.10 | 14:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: i'd consult though in windows irc on that link | 14:46 |
| AmirB | ah, ok, your right | 14:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | AmirB: i'm an ubuntu user and take no responsibility on crap vista | 14:46 |
| AmirB | about the second question though? | 14:46 |
| poisonkiller | hi | 14:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | yea rewrite mbr then in windows disk management recover partition | 14:47 |
| robertj | Does anyone else have an issue where a minimal nvidia Xorg config no longer works? it used to work and during updates from official gutsy it no longer works | 14:47 |
| de_dustyciti | Pie-rate: I just happened to have that CD so I installed it first... is there a known kernel works with E2160 / cpufreq or I'll have to apt-get upgrade ? | 14:47 |
| robertj | Screen flickers alot and when I kill Xorg I never get my terminal back | 14:47 |
| poisonkiller | can any1 say, why Crossover menu won't install to Applications, when I install Crossover? | 14:47 |
| mp_spyder89 | how do you mount a usb device command line? | 14:47 |
| rene | usually with mount | 14:48 |
| Pie-rate | de_dustyciti: hmm, not sure. | 14:48 |
| ubuntuisloved | poisonkiller: it uses its own menu under windows apps | 14:48 |
| benny269 | oddalot: back, emerald seems to be working, borders are normalised, but i cant see any themes in the prefs though? | 14:49 |
| ubuntuisloved | !mount > mp_spyder89 | 14:49 |
| oddalot | did you do the repositores | 14:49 |
| poisonkiller | ubuntuisloved: i mean the menu under Applications, where i can install windows programs, uninstall crossover etc. | 14:49 |
| ubuntuisloved | lol careful how you ask that | 14:49 |
| benny269 | yeah i tried the same thing, still nothing, although windows are ok now | 14:49 |
| oddalot | hmm | 14:49 |
| ubuntuisloved | poisonkiller: what ver of crossover? | 14:49 |
| oddalot | try to get that to work, the emerald themes rock my face off | 14:50 |
| poisonkiller | ubuntuislover: 6.0.0 | 14:50 |
| benny269 | am i looking at the right thing? sys>prefs>emerald theme manager>themes setting tab> themes tab? | 14:50 |
| ubuntuisloved | yea ive got it working on feisty and gutsy | 14:50 |
| poisonkiller | ubuntuisloved: 6.0.0 | 14:50 |
| inertial | is there a cli utility to stream music? | 14:50 |
| ubuntuisloved | yea theres a dameon | 14:51 |
| kitche | inertial: what do you mean by stream music you mean yourself or soemthing else | 14:51 |
| ubuntuisloved | trying to remember the name | 14:51 |
| oddalot | yeah, sounds right | 14:51 |
| inertial | kitche: connect to a music stream and play music | 14:51 |
| ubuntuisloved | mtpd or something | 14:51 |
| poisonkiller | ubuntuisloved: some time ago it was there, but after i reinstalled it wouldn't install there again | 14:51 |
| kitche | inertial: xmms2 or mplayer | 14:51 |
| oddalot | did you hit refresh? | 14:51 |
| inertial | ah yeah basic mplayer is just cli.. | 14:51 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@MD97600:~$ ps -A | grep esd" produces no output. "detlef@MD97600:~$ ps aux | grep esd" produces: "detlef 19921 0.0 0.1 2984 764 pts/1 R+ 13:56 0:00 grep esd". What is the essential difference between both commands? | 14:52 |

| Chamwork` | hi guys, quick question. Is there a website or forum thread that's fairly up to date that will list windows apps and nice linux alternatives, preferably for gnome? Looking for a replacement for speed commander in windows (file manager) | 14:53 |
| jrib | bullgard4: and I missed your response. In the command "grep foo", grep is your command and "foo" are your arguments | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: afaik ubuntu dos not install esd by default | 14:53 |
| bazhang | Chamwork`: there is a comprehensive list; I forget the link but google something like linux alt and that should give it to you | 14:54 |
| jrib | bullgard4: try 'ps -A | grep grep' and 'ps aux | grep grep' to see what I mean | 14:54 |
| benny269 | oddalot? anyone? | 14:54 |

| bullgard4 | erUSUL: I could not find the term 'process list' in 'man ps'. -- In "ps aux | grep esd" the ps command considers 'grep' a parameter? Why is it not stpped to do so by the 'pipe' character? | 14:59 |
| mikebeecham | Hi guys...I have a Creative HS-300 headset, and I cannot get it to work within Ubuntu. I have set everything to ALSA, but this makes no difference? | 15:00 |
| bazhang | right mp_spyder89; as profanephobia says it is not needed--they just take up file space | 15:00 |
| PCHENK | hi all | 15:00 |
| oddalot | lol, pimpzilla rocks my face off | 15:00 |
| LjL | bullgard4: eh? no, it definitely doesn't consider grep a parameter... | 15:00 |
| Chamwork` | nice! gnome commander looks like what i need | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: no; what happens is that grep finds itself on the process list (the list ps outputs). It finds itself becouse ps outputs the parameters too so if you grep for esd a line containing "ps aux | grep esd" will match | 15:01 |

| ForsakenSoul | yeah | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | MadHag: what do you want to install? | 15:07 |
| bytecode | Seith: when you double click on the speaker icon in your system tray, the volume control app will appear - check that the volume slider for your headphone socket is not muted. Also, visit the Edit-> preferences menu, and check the "Headphone Jack Sense" check box, to ensure that you can choose whether you want the speakers to automatically mute when you plug the headphones in | 15:07 |

| h1st0 | mikebeecham: are you sure you're plugged in to the speaker port? | 15:08 |
| ForsakenSoul | i`m still a noob | 15:08 |
| profanephobia | ForsakenSoul, usually at boot when grub is starting up it will say press esc for grub menu | 15:08 |

| bullgard4 | MadHag: What What 'install' icon do you mean? | 15:11 |
| Seith | i dont have the setting | 15:11 |
| Seith | just volume | 15:11 |
| bytecode | Seith: that's what the "headphone sense" check box is for. Enabling it in the preferences will make the "headphone Sense" check box then appear on the Options tab , you can then tick /check it so that the speakers are muted automatically | 15:11 |
| h1st0 | mikebeecham: i believe m will un mute the channel you have selected. | 15:11 |

| h1st0 | MadHag: did you install or are you just trying to boot the livecd still? | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | RyanPrior: when i right click on the volume icon and choose to open volume control i have exactly that | 15:13 |

| h1st0 | mikebeecham: on the volume control make sure its not checkboxed under the microphone column | 15:14 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Oxdude: Are you trying to enable effects ? | 15:14 |
| mikebeecham | h1st0: it's not | 15:14 |

| arizon | is this working? I tried by entering through a chell without X started. | 15:30 |
| LjL | arizon: yes | 15:30 |
| bazhang | yes arizon | 15:30 |
| arizon | aight | 15:30 |
| chazco | Given the lack of support in Ubuntu for some devices how can I properly setup Virtualbox with USB pass-through? It currently seems to work, but fails when I actually try to use it... | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chamwork`: Please stop with the comments... | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | !offtopic > Chamwork` | 15:31 |
| bytecode | Seith: it depends upon your laptops sound card, and which ones are recognised. | 15:31 |
| arizon | bazhang or LjL, can I get a little help? it's just a detail I need | 15:31 |
| bazhang | chazco: have you tried vmware-server? its in the canonical gutsy partner repos and works fine here; though vbox does as well for many | 15:31 |
| Seith | realtek hdaudio | 15:32 |
| Chamwork` | it's all good guys, i do approciate your hard work and helping people out, just not for me right now. Good luck! | 15:32 |
| LjL | arizon: the question being? | 15:32 |
| bullgard4 | h1st0: I am not familiar with the 'apt-cache showpkg' command. I use to use Synaptic. Please tell me what depends on what when there is a headline "Reverse Depends" and another headline "Dependencies:". | 15:32 |
| Seith | do i need to install alsa | 15:32 |
| arizon | you've probably answerede it a 100 times since yesterday.. I need to install the new drivers | 15:32 |
| arizon | I have downloaded them, I know how to stop gdm | 15:32 |
| LjL | arizon: the drivers for what? | 15:32 |
| arizon | I just don't remember how to run the drivers | 15:32 |
| arizon | nvidia | 15:32 |
| chazco | bazhang - How easy is it to convert virutal machines to VMWare? I thought it could only use existing systems... | 15:32 |
| arizon | sorry hehe | 15:32 |
| LjL | arizon: do the drivers from the repositories not work? | 15:33 |
| arizon | I had trouble with it last time | 15:33 |
| bazhang | chazco: convert? cant be done | 15:33 |
| profanephobia | arizon, have you tried using the restricted drivers manager? | 15:33 |
| OmegaCenti | I am having trouble accessing a file needed by vpnc in /etc/vpnc. Need help! | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | arizon: chamod +x NVIDIA_whatever && sudo ./NVIDIA_whatever | 15:33 |
| arizon | since the kernel update, the other day, I had problems to start X, but I got it working | 15:33 |
| chazco | Ah... that makes it more difficult then | 15:33 |
| LjL | arizon, we generally recommend using the drivers from the repositories (there are two versions, nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new, you might want to try the latter if the former has problems), and discourage using non-packaged drivers unless there's really something fatal with the ones shipped | 15:34 |
| riaal | Is there any easy way of checking CPU temp? (AMD 64) | 15:34 |
| LjL | !info lm-sensors | riaal | 15:35 |
| ubotu | riaal: lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component main, is extra. Version 1:2.10.4-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 496 kB, installed size 1520 kB | 15:35 |
| arizon | ok, I have downloaded these from the nvidia site | 15:35 |
| arizon | are they the same as the repository drivers? | 15:35 |
| LjL | arizon: yes, that's what we generally discourage. no, they aren't. | 15:35 |
| arizon | ok | 15:35 |
| LjL | arizon: the trouble with those is that, when there is a kernel update for instance, your X will stop working. | 15:36 |
| arizon | I'll try with the rep. drivers first then.. be right back. | 15:36 |
| LjL | arizon: you really should. | 15:36 |
| arizon | yeah, I noticed that the other day | 15:36 |
| arizon | ^ | 15:36 |
| crdlb | but yes, they're the same *driver* just different packaging | 15:36 |
| arizon | ok | 15:36 |
| arizon | I'll try w/ the repo thing first then, brb.. | 15:36 |
| riaal | LjL, where can I find the manpage? | 15:36 |
| h1st0 | riaal: acpi -t | 15:36 |
| LjL | riaal: sensors-detect and sensors | 15:37 |

| Jack_Sparrow | _gallo_: What type of notebook and what all has been added or changed from the initial installation | 15:42 |
| colinnn | hey all, after the last update, X doesn't start. after running dpkg-configure the error output is the same as before. typed it in at http://pastebin.com/d3c887644 | 15:42 |

| didkoddd | h1st0: i dont remember .. it was 2 wweeks ago .. | 15:43 |

| erUSUL | ForsakenSoul: that's what it is supposed to do give you a root terminal to fix things | 15:43 |
| didkoddd | the acant boot | 15:43 |
| ForsakenSoul | i can`t start my logon screen because i`ve made it to autolog | 15:43 |
| didkoddd | and to boot manually | 15:43 |
| didkoddd | ....... | 15:43 |
| profanephobia | ForsakenSoul, so you werent able to get to a terminal? | 15:43 |
| colinnn | Jack_Sparrow: heya :) dpkg-reconfigure didn't work, error message from startx is at http://pastebin.com/d3c887644 | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _gallo_: What type of notebook and what all has been added or changed from the initial installation | 15:43 |
| arizon | LjL: I went to Screens and graphics, choose driver by model, took the right one, restarted X, changed back in xorg.conf to nvidia instead of nv. | 15:43 |
| h1st0 | didkoddd: ? I can't really understand what you are saying the livecd wouldn't boot properly? | 15:43 |
| chazco | Whats the quickest partition resizer? Need to create a partition for windows | 15:43 |
| ForsakenSoul | profanephobia a got a terminal but i don`t know what do to when i`m there | 15:43 |
| OmegaCenti | h1st0: Jack_Sparrow Well, I am trying to look at files inside of the directory /etc/vpnc and it doesn't seem I can cd into the directory, and sudo cd doesn't work | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | colinnn: I saw it.. and I ferer to someone with more knowledge in that area.. | 15:44 |
| h1st0 | chazco: gparted | 15:44 |
| _gallo_ | my notebook is a dell notebook with 1 gb ram and a dual core processor | 15:44 |
| h1st0 | chazco: or fdisk or cfdisk | 15:44 |
| _gallo_ | nothing has been changed | 15:44 |
| chazco | gparted was very, very slow last time... and fdisk / cfdisk are destructive iirc | 15:44 |
| colinnn | Jack_Sparrow: hehe okay. i didn't uninstall X btw. trust me i am not that insane. i just ran the last update. | 15:44 |
| profanephobia | ForsakenSoul, type startx and recored any errors | 15:44 |
| h1st0 | _gallo_: do you need any help or are you just trolling? | 15:44 |
| erUSUL | chazco: there is no other options afaik | 15:44 |
| ForsakenSoul | I need a way to get into failsafe mode | 15:44 |
| didkoddd | h1st0: it boot .. installl ....... and when I reboot after the install ......... | 15:44 |
| _gallo_ | I'm just trolling | 15:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OmegaCenti: DO you have a gui on that box or just server? | 15:44 |
| Seith | how do i format my etrax harddrive on my computer so i can use it as a storage space | 15:44 |
| ForsakenSoul | so i can fix my drivers | 15:44 |
| didkoddd | cant boot ....... | 15:44 |
| chazco | Ah pity :( | 15:44 |
| h1st0 | !best | chazco | 15:45 |
| ubotu | chazco: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 15:45 |
| arizon | shizz. I was gone on sec, and now it's loads of stuff here.. | 15:45 |
| ForsakenSoul | ok thanks | 15:45 |
| Seith | i have Ubuntu | 15:45 |
| chazco | For the record, i didnt ask for the best, i asked for the fastest... | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _gallo_: What model of Dell | 15:45 |
| h1st0 | didkoddd: can't boot what the livecd? | 15:45 |
| OmegaCenti | Jack_Sparrow: I have a gui, using ubuntu 7.10 with gnome | 15:45 |
| erUSUL | ForsakenSoul: did you manually installed nvidia/ati drivers? if so you need to reinstall them | 15:45 |
| ForsakenSoul | you`ll here from me if i mess up :D | 15:45 |
| arizon | gah, how do I scroll in this thing? | 15:45 |
| didkoddd | no the system | 15:45 |
| didkoddd | h1st0: the sysmtem ....... | 15:45 |
| _gallo_ | dell taqi_nonen | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OmegaCenti: See if you can get in with gksudo nautilus | 15:45 |
| didkoddd | h1st0: cant load linux ....... | 15:45 |
| ForsakenSoul | erUSUL no i actually install a libgl that deleted my nvidia drivers | 15:45 |
| ForsakenSoul | by mistake | 15:45 |
| h1st0 | didkoddd: what happens when it doesn't load kind of need more information | 15:45 |
| Pie-rate | is there any way i can disable the close button on rhythmbox or make it minimize to its icon when the close button is pressed? i'm sick of closing it accidentally. | 15:46 |
| Seith | can some help me | 15:46 |
| erUSUL | ForsakenSoul: (re)install nvidia-glx-* packages ?? | 15:46 |
| OmegaCenti | Jack_Sparrow: yes I can get in with gksudo nautilus | 15:46 |
| smirre | why when I run 'sudo apt-get install libfuse2 fuse-utils libntfs8 ntfsprogs' it tells me: Couldn't find package libfuse2 | 15:46 |
| smirre | ?? | 15:46 |
| Seith | i want to format my extra hardrive how can i do that | 15:46 |
| h1st0 | Pie-rate: it should put an applet by the clock. Just right click on the applet and check box show rhythmbox | 15:46 |
| Seith | i have Ubuntu | 15:46 |
| arizon | I'll be back later... | 15:46 |
| profanephobia | Seith, sudo apt-get install gparted | 15:46 |
| Seith | how so i install that | 15:47 |
| profanephobia | Seith, gnome partion editor will allow you to easily format your drives with a GUI | 15:47 |
| profanephobia | Seith, sudo apt-get install gparted in the terminal | 15:47 |
| tinman_ | So, pon dsl-provider trigers the internet connection, sometimes it starts and sometimes it dosent so i issue the comamnd a few more time and it tarts, but when i do this after a few minutes i disconnect with a "modem hangup" | 15:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OmegaCenti: SOmeone earlier posted in response to your question the method of changing permissions.. if that is what you are looking to do. | 15:47 |
| profanephobia | Seith, or search for gparted in synaptic | 15:48 |
| tinman_ | Maybe the "plog" isen't giving me enough information as what is happining actually | 15:48 |
| === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| smirre | When I try to run #sudo apt-get install gparted it sais : Couldn't find package gparted | 15:48 |
| weeman | how can i fuck my mumyy? | 15:48 |
| tinman_ | Is there a wasy way to make it who the actual lines from /var/log/syslog ? | 15:48 |
| OmegaCenti | Jack_Sparrow: not quite, I know how to change permissions, my problem is that I can't normally cd into the directory in a terminal, even though I THINK I am in the group of users that can use it | 15:48 |
| weeman | hmm | 15:49 |
| weeman | ok thx | 15:49 |
| OmegaCenti | Jack_Sparrow: drwxrwxrw- 2 root vpnc 4096 2008-01-22 09:56 vpnc | 15:49 |
| Seith | ok i did that but still wont let me format | 15:50 |
| profanephobia | Seith, it needs to be unmounted | 15:50 |
| tinman_ | And am I getting the modem hangup because i triggered too many connection? | 15:50 |
| OmegaCenti | Jack_Sparrow: however, when I type groups in the terminal, it doesn't show me as a member of the group vpnc | 15:50 |
| erUSUL | tinman_: have you revised the system logs ?? | 15:50 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: if you have added yourself you need to log out and back in to be a member or start a new shell | 15:50 |
| Seith | ok | 15:50 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: so just exit in the terminal? | 15:51 |
| fairyEneried | hola | 15:51 |
| fairyEneried | sorry, hello! | 15:51 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: just start a new shell | 15:51 |
| fairyEneried | I need a little help, as always | 15:51 |
| ikonia | fairyEneried: ask the question then | 15:51 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: how would I do that inside a terminal window? it doesn't seem to work if I just open a new twerminal in gnome. | 15:51 |
| tinman_ | 16:50 < erUSUL> tinman_: have you revised the system logs ?? | 15:51 |
| Seith | ok it is | 15:51 |
| tinman_ | What do you mean? | 15:51 |
| fairyEneried | I need a Caller Id program for my ubuntu | 15:51 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti what is your username | 15:52 |
| m4rC0 | hi guys | 15:52 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: andromeda | 15:52 |
| ikonia | fairyEneried: caller id ? do you have your phone routing through your computer ? | 15:52 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: grep andromeda /etc/group | 15:52 |
| erUSUL | tinman_: look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog to see why it hangs up | 15:52 |
| m4rC0 | can i do a question? | 15:52 |
| ikonia | m4rC0: sure | 15:52 |
| Pie-rate | h1st0: yeah.... that has absolutely nothing to do with my question. i want the CLOSE button to do what the CLOSE button should do, and CLOSE the window, instead of being a QUIT button. | 15:52 |
| tinman_ | erUSUL: I see.. | 15:52 |
| m4rC0 | sry my english and the noob questions :P | 15:52 |
| bazhang | just the one | 15:52 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: alright, the /etc/groups says I am a member of vpnc | 15:53 |
| mp_spyder89 | quit | 15:53 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: ok - so do "id andromada" does that show you ? | 15:53 |
| mp_spyder89 | exit | 15:53 |
| m4rC0 | xgl is valid as graphic acceleration for games? | 15:53 |
| fairyEneried | ikonia: give me a second | 15:53 |
| m4rC0 | like warsow? | 15:53 |
| erUSUL | Pie-rate: on all windowing systems (window apple unix baesd) the close button has allways closed the app | 15:53 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: it says vpnc in the list | 15:53 |
| ikonia | m4rC0: xgl isn't graphics acceleration, your graphics drivers supply that | 15:53 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: ok, so log out and back in | 15:53 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: sorry, I don't know how to log out and back in inside a terminal window. | 15:54 |
| profanephobia | Pie-rate, some themes move the close button to the other end of the window though | 15:54 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: just exit your desktop and log back in - it will be easier | 15:54 |
| steveny | hello:) | 15:54 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: every single other application that uses a notification area icon like that stays open when you use the close button | 15:54 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: oy, that means I lose everything I was working on :/ | 15:54 |
| steveny | I have a small USB problem:( I am sad | 15:54 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: there's no reason why rhythmbox should do that differently. | 15:54 |
| neverblue | morning | 15:54 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: su - andromeda | 15:55 |
| fairyEneried | ikonia: yes, the phone line is attached to the modem and the phone to the modem | 15:55 |
| ikonia | see if that works | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | Pie-rate: there exceptions to it but they are a few (application dependant) and usually you have to explicity enable the not normal behavior of "close button minimi to notification area/try" | 15:55 |
| ikonia | fairyEneried: caller id need to be enabled by your phone provider | 15:55 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: that worked!!! | 15:55 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: thanks | 15:55 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: great, | 15:55 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: just be aware it will only work in that one shell until you log out of gnome and back in | 15:55 |
| kksm19820117 | Back when I used to run Red Hat 7.0, I used to edit the /etc/inittab file in order to get multiple GUI screens, the second which could be accessed via Ctrl-Alt-F8. How do I do this on Ubuntu, given that I cannot find an innittab file in /etc? I am running a xdm/fluxbox setup. | 15:55 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: nice!!! | 15:55 |
| steveny | does someone have a spare minute for a USB port problem? | 15:55 |
| OmegaCenti | ikonia: that is fine, I now have access to vpnc ^_^ | 15:56 |
| fairyEneried | ikonia: we have the caller id service on the provider, and we were using it in windows, but, we're moving to linux now, and we need an alternative | 15:56 |
| ikonia | OmegaCenti: ok, just keep that in mind | 15:56 |
| profanephobia | !ask steveny | 15:56 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask steveny - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:56 |

| Pie-rate | erUSUL: as does banshee and every other music player with a tray icon i can think of | 15:56 |

| FloodBot1 | steveny: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:56 |
| riaal | Anyone think it can be some software failure that make my computer die and reebot every 7-12 day | 15:56 |
| erUSUL | Pie-rate: well what can i say use banshee then | 15:57 |
| ikonia | joe_: why are you doing that ? | 15:57 |
| profanephobia | !paste | steveny | 15:57 |
| ikonia | joe_: you just need to do "sudo command" | 15:57 |
| ubotu | steveny: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 15:57 |
| Seith | ok i install it from sysnaptic gparted\ | 15:57 |
| ikonia | joe_: also "password" is not a valid comment | 15:57 |
| rvalles | smirre: did you build a custom kernel? | 15:57 |
| ikonia | command | 15:57 |
| joe_ | ikonia: cause I was told I had to, in order to change the root password | 15:57 |
| Seith | how can i use it | 15:57 |
| fairyEneried | thanks ikonia | 15:57 |
| h1st0 | Seith: no run it. | 15:57 |
| rvalles | sorry, steveny | 15:57 |
| ikonia | joe_: who told you that ? you should not set the root password | 15:57 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: i like rhythmbox, it's an annoyance that there should either be a pref for or should just be eliminated | 15:57 |
| fairyEneried | ikonia: but asterisk is not too big for such little task? | 15:57 |
| h1st0 | Seith: it should be in yoru applications menu if not hit alt+f2 and type in gparted | 15:57 |
| fairyEneried | :) | 15:57 |
| profanephobia | Seith, system -> admin -> gparted | 15:57 |
| ikonia | fairyEneried: astrix is too big, hence why I said look at what it uses ad see what you can adapt | 15:58 |
| joe_ | ikonia: a buddy of mine told me to. ok, I wont do it then. I will check out the links | 15:58 |
| Seith | on terminAL | 15:58 |

| hax0r | i'm in the directory where the binary is.. i can nano it, but when i try executing it, it says "no such file or directory" | 16:07 |
| neverblue | mats_, it just matters if the server accepts security | 16:07 |

| hobbzilla | Greetings. Just installed ubuntu for the first time. | 16:20 |
| pi3 | I can no longer connect to wireless networks though I'm able to connect to wired ones, lspci returns "07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)" so I don't see where the problem is, what could it be? | 16:20 |
| pygmymath | Danagin: thats fdisk -l | 16:20 |
| riotkittie | ForsakenSoul: sudo apt-get install <package> | 16:20 |
| pppoe_dude | I can add a VPN network but it doesn't show up in the connection list. | 16:20 |
| hobbzilla | however, during the install process, it never asked me to set root's passwd. | 16:20 |
| pygmymath | smirre: is the automatic updater a running? it should update through that? though 5.10 is pretty darn old heh | 16:20 |
| hobbzilla | is there a default passwd. | 16:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !root | 16:20 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:20 |
| riotkittie | hobbzilla: there is no root password. root is locked. use sudo. | 16:20 |
| steveny | rvalles: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53042/ | 16:20 |
| Danagin | sudo fdisk-l command not found | 16:21 |
| rvalles | sudo su - and you're root. | 16:21 |
| erawfish | Danagin: read more carefully then try again | 16:21 |
| amedx | sudo su | 16:21 |
| amedx | sudo su | 16:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rvalles: Not the best choice... | 16:21 |
| riotkittie | Danagin: space between fdisk and -l | 16:21 |
| pygmymath | Danagin: space between the hyphen and the word fdisk | 16:21 |
| pygmymath | lol | 16:21 |
| Seith | so how can i fix that so i can use either my headphone or my external logic speakers\ | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | rvalles: the correct ting to use is «sudo -i» | 16:21 |
| amish_ | the resolution of my videos is not as what it used to be in windows ... how do i fix that ?? | 16:21 |
| smirre | pygmymath: All I want to do is format a drive. Surely 5.04 can do that? | 16:21 |
| juannicolas | hi | 16:21 |
| rvalles | steveny: looks quite nice. | 16:21 |
| erawfish | smirre: mkfs | 16:21 |
| Quicksilva | Hi would anyone be available to help me with compiling ffmpeg in ubuntu. I am following this.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53041/ and when I copy and paste the .configure block I get this output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53043/ thanks :) | 16:21 |
| rvalles | steveny: maybe... try to boot the kernel without apic | 16:21 |
| pygmymath | smirre: fdisk is a formatting program, not particularly ni<ce but it works | 16:22 |
| pygmymath | smirre: or mkfs | 16:22 |
| MadHag | fatal server error | 16:22 |
| juannicolas | How can i make my vpn server in Ubuntu to give me DNS in addition of an ip and gateway | 16:22 |
| juannicolas | ? | 16:22 |
| smirre | pygmymathL okay will try those thanks | 16:22 |
| erawfish | pygmymath: it's a partitioning program | 16:22 |
| MadHag | no valid fontpath could be found | 16:22 |
| rvalles | steveny: other than that, I can't say. | 16:22 |
| erawfish | juannicolas: dhcp? | 16:22 |
| amish_ | Jack_Sparrow : the quality of my videos is not as what it used to be in windows ... how do i fix that ?? | 16:22 |
| MadHag | I cant startx | 16:22 |
| pygmymath | erawfish: only had experience with fdisk heh | 16:22 |
| hobbzilla | okay, thanks. so I should "not" change root's password once I've gained access to it's account? | 16:22 |
| steveny | rvalles: yeah......I have no idea what that means:P I am on day two of this ubuntu stuff | 16:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amish_: What video card are you using? | 16:23 |
| erawfish | hobbzilla: right | 16:23 |
| Danagin | I know what fdsik is to ms but didn't know you could use it with linux too. | 16:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Danagin: Different fdisk | 16:23 |
| juannicolas | erawfish I do have DHCP running also, but when i connect to my server via VPN gives me, IP, gateway but i also want dns in order to have internet via my vpn | 16:23 |
| MadHag | use system recovery | 16:23 |
| MadHag | its great | 16:23 |
| pygmymath | Danagin: just to be confusing heh | 16:23 |
| rvalles | steveny: press esc in early boot, to get grub menu to display | 16:23 |
| amish_ | <Jack_Sparrow> : ATI accelerated graphics driver ... | 16:23 |
| Danagin | lol | 16:23 |
| erawfish | juannicolas: it's a dhcp server setting most probably | 16:24 |
| rvalles | steveny: edit the kernel commandline, and add noapic nolapic | 16:24 |
| rvalles | steveny: at the end of it | 16:24 |
| rvalles | good luck | 16:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Danagin: May I suggest gparted livecd... for what you are trying to do.. not gparted on the ubuntu livecd | 16:24 |
| rvalles | if that doesn't work, I don't know what else you can try, sadly | 16:24 |
| amish_ | <Jack_Sparrow>: it shows its in use in d restricted drivers ... | 16:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amish_: That does not tell me which card.. | 16:24 |
| hobbzilla | erawfish: why not change root's passwd ? | 16:24 |
| erawfish | juannicolas: he already has partitioned. now we need to check what he did. fdisk -l | 16:24 |
| MadHag | http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 16:24 |
| amish_ | <Jack_Sparrow>: how to check ?? | 16:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 16:24 |
| ubotu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 16:24 |
| erawfish | hobbzilla: cause there is no root password to change and there is no root account to log into | 16:24 |
| juannicolas | wroung tab | 16:25 |
| rvalles | Jack_Sparrow: lol, problems which are result of having a root password | 16:25 |

| Quicksilva | Am I allowed to ask questions in here regarding specific software?> or only general stuff? | 16:25 |
| erawfish | !lamp | mr__daniel | 16:25 |
| ubotu | mr__daniel: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:25 |
| rvalles | erawfish: whatever, I find it hilarious | 16:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rvalles: Problems created by users running as root when there is no need | 16:25 |
| mr__daniel | but when i open 'localhost' with firefox, I am not able to see the created symboli-link | 16:25 |

| rvalles | erawfish: otherwise, I can't help but agree | 16:26 |
| mr__daniel | why apache is not showing me the symbolic link? | 16:26 |
| h1st0 | Quicksilva: you can ask but the chances of someone knowing versus the support channel for the specific software might be better. | 16:26 |

| Jack_Sparrow | MadHag: I have some notes I made up on those cards.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52861/ | 16:41 |
| mavi_ | there is some drivers on internet but it doesnt works | 16:41 |
| grandi | nicoleamychung, install amule | 16:41 |
| santosh | hlst0: actually while configuring xorg, there were some queries related to mouse setup also. I think that should have affected it. | 16:41 |
| mavi_ | i've tried like that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373182&page=2 | 16:41 |
| h1st0 | santosh: could be. | 16:42 |
| bazhang | nicoleamychung: bit torrent is different than emule | 16:42 |
| santosh | hlst0: anyways thanks for your time. | 16:42 |
| MadHag | thanks jack | 16:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mavi_: I would run the livecd and see just which drivers it is using to work, then copy that into the installed version | 16:42 |

| h1st0 | mats_: i believe firestarter just manipulates iptables so yes | 16:44 |
| optx | hi ! can somebody tell me the chan 4 hardy ? | 16:44 |
| Pici | mats_: Firestarter is just a front end to iptables. iptables is always (iirc) running. | 16:44 |

| MadHag | whats this no valid font path error? | 16:48 |
| h1st0 | MadHag: on help.ubuntu.com under community docs is a hardware compatibility list that shows which driver to use for each card. | 16:48 |
| MadHag | I have no gui | 16:49 |
| hobbzilla | is /boot & /tmp better suited for a non-journaled FS (i.e. ext2) ? | 16:49 |
| h1st0 | MadHag: that has nothing to do with why X isn't starting. | 16:49 |
| MadHag | crap typing all that out :) | 16:49 |
| h1st0 | MadHag: its a warning. | 16:49 |

| h1st0 | verb3k: aren't you using flash for them? or are you capturing videos then playing them back with mplayer? | 16:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MadHag: If you cant get vesa mode to work the problem goes deeper than just video driver | 16:50 |
| MadHag | hmm | 16:50 |
| MadHag | like what though | 16:50 |
| MadHag | the card is supported | 16:50 |

| bazhang | hi neozen-work | 17:19 |
| nicoleamychung | the old version but don't know which one | 17:19 |
| neozen-work | about every 30 seconds, it goes dark | 17:20 |
| nicoleamychung | brobostigon-it says it failed | 17:20 |
| bcardarella | mavi: everything is on... the only thing I don't have in the volume control settings is a headphone volume option. There is nothing in the preferences that allow me to choose that either | 17:20 |
| nicoleamychung | bazhang-i don't know which version i'm using | 17:20 |
| neozen-work | switching to a virtual console and back fixes it.... until another 30 seconds passes | 17:20 |
| nicoleamychung | bazhang-how do i find out | 17:20 |
| neozen-work | ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 | 17:20 |
| nicoleamychung | bazhang-how do i find out what version i'm actually using? | 17:20 |

| neozen-work | bazhang: hi there | 17:21 |

| bazhang | nicoleamychung: it is lsb_release -a in the terminal | 17:22 |
| mavi- | bcardarella: type "lspci" to see your hardware detected, then lsmod to see the loaded drivers | 17:22 |
| grandi | nicoleamychung, type lsb_release -d in the terminal | 17:22 |

| caravel_ | DRebellion: I got your point | 17:58 |
| mavi- | adelie: i think there are some dialogs and stuff ready to use from shell scripts, but if you want to make more advanced guis you should look in to python scripting | 17:58 |
| glaxo | some of my folders have an owner of "1026" what does this relate to ? I have no user of this name | 17:58 |
| ikonia | glaxo: it's a uid | 17:59 |
| Lunar_Lamp | glaxo, that is the users id number. | 17:59 |
| ikonia | glaxo: chown it to a user you do have | 17:59 |
| DRebellion | caravel_: have you checked output from the command 'dmesg' ? | 17:59 |

| adelie | mavi-: for opening up windows and drawing primitives to it, you recommend python? | 17:59 |
| arjun | h1st0, checking it out quick | 18:00 |
| frikkie | The media player program does not want to play mp3 files. What do I do? | 18:00 |
| mavi- | adelie: i thought you ment native gui elements, to draw stuff you can use imagemagick | 18:00 |
| h1st0 | arjun: that involves editing a file aparently | 18:00 |
| h1st0 | arjun: maybe a better option | 18:00 |
| arjun | h1st0, ok im gona check this one out quick thanx man ;) | 18:01 |
| DRebellion | frikkie: which media player program? | 18:01 |

| glaxo | ikonia, Lunar_Lamp, any ideas? | 18:01 |

| arizon | I tried to choose them from using the "search by type of card" thing | 18:06 |
| ikonia | arizon: not sure which driver the 7600's fall into, I /think/ nvidia-glx-new package should work fine | 18:06 |
| ikonia | arizon: ubuntu has restricted drivers available for that card | 18:07 |
| arizon | yeah, I have the pkg | 18:07 |
| ikonia | arizon: are you using the package ? | 18:07 |

| ikonia | MitsuoDeshoDesho: the data is there, but without a partition table you can't do anything with it | 18:10 |
| nemilar | The language requirements for this channel are like on a 7th Heaven TV show | 18:10 |
| mats_ | kodge there is one built in | 18:10 |

| brobostigon | mats_: yep | 18:11 |

| glaxo | ikonia, 1026 appears to be my UID on the server | 18:11 |
| ikonia | glaxo: perfect | 18:11 |
| glaxo | ikonia, do I need to make them match? | 18:11 |
| ikonia | glaxo: thats the most easy way of dealing with things | 18:12 |
| mats_ | guess not | 18:12 |
| arizon | I don't have the possibility to choose "restricted drivers" from the menue | 18:12 |
| arizon | menu | 18:12 |
| glaxo | ikonia, is there a preference for which end to change it at? I would hazard a guess at client end | 18:12 |
| ikonia | glaxo: excellent call | 18:12 |
| DRebellion | arizon: have you enabled the restricted sources? | 18:12 |
| glaxo | ikonia, can you guess my next question? ;) | 18:12 |
| ikonia | glaxo: how ? | 18:12 |
| glaxo | ikonia, we have a winner! | 18:13 |
| arizon | Not that I'm aware of, from synaptic? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | glaxo: one moment, let me just check everything you need to do | 18:13 |
| DRebellion | arizon: system > administration > sources | 18:13 |
| arizon | aight. wait | 18:13 |
| DRebellion | arizon: system > administration > software sources | 18:13 |
| arizon | DRebellion, aight, wait a sec | 18:13 |
| ikonia | glaxo: actually can I suggest an even easier solution, (we can do the longer one if you want) | 18:14 |
| glaxo | ikonia, suggest away | 18:14 |
| frikkie | How can I play mp3 files in v5.04? | 18:14 |
| magnetron | what disassemblers for linux elf binaries do you recommend? | 18:14 |
| xsfr | can i get a hardy package to work on gutsy? | 18:14 |
| ikonia | glaxo: create a group on both machines call it something like "share_access" "groupadd -g 1200 share_access" on both boxes, then add your username to that group on both the server and the client, then chown -R user:share_access the share | 18:15 |
| ikonia | glaxo: that way your local uid's on both client and server are safe | 18:15 |
| frikkie | How can I install mp3 codec on v5.04 ? | 18:15 |
| ikonia | frikkie: 5.04 packages have not been updated for a long time | 18:15 |
| arizon | DRebellion: where do I find it in that menu? I can't see any "restricted drivers" nor "drivers" option | 18:15 |
| glaxo | ikonia, I don't have that level of flexibility on the server side as it is a consumer NAS | 18:15 |
| ikonia | glaxo: does that make sense what I'm suggesting | 18:15 |
| arizon | no wait, i found it | 18:16 |
| xsfr | can i get a hardy package to work on gutsy? | 18:16 |
| arizon | DRebellion: it's enabled | 18:16 |
| ikonia | glaxo: ok - we'll do this the client way. What permissions do you want, just your user - or everyone or what ? | 18:16 |
| brobostigon | xsfr: no, not recommended | 18:16 |
| frikkie | ikonia, I dont need a new package. I just want to play mp3 files. | 18:16 |
| frikkie | ikonia, old package will do | 18:16 |
| ikonia | frikkie: does that package exist on 5.04 | 18:16 |
| brobostigon | frikkie: try xmms, audacious | 18:16 |
| glaxo | ikonia, ideally my user with full access and others with read only | 18:16 |
| xsfr | brobostigon, does gutsy have the boost asio package? | 18:17 |
| ikonia | glaxo: can you show me the output of "ls $path/to/share" on your client machine in a pastebin please. | 18:17 |
| brobostigon | xsfr: no idea: packages,ubuntu.com | 18:17 |
| ikonia | glaxo: just so I can be certain what you've got | 18:17 |
| magnetron | frikkie: ubuntu 5.04 is not supported anymore. | 18:17 |
| arizon | did DRebellion leave while I was tabbed out? | 18:17 |
| DRebellion | arizon: still here | 18:17 |
| arizon | alright | 18:17 |
| arizon | DRebellion: It's enabled, but doesn't show up in the menu | 18:18 |
| frikkie | magez, Yes I see that... but it should not be that hard to get mp3s working right? | 18:18 |
| gigo | if i do, aptitude update; aptitude upgrade, does it only install security patches or does it upgrade some software packages too to new versions? | 18:18 |
| dundel | is there a way to restart ur sound driver or something, sometimes rhythmbox is just freezing and i need to reboot or logout to play music/sounds again | 18:18 |
| glaxo | ikonia, do you want the output of the mount point or what? | 18:18 |
| * DRebellion shrugs | 18:18 | |
| arizon | DRebellion, I've set driver to "nv" in xorg to make it run at all | 18:18 |
| ikonia | glaxo: yeah, perfect | 18:18 |
| arizon | does that affect it | 18:18 |

| magnetron | frikkie: they don't fix bugs in ubuntu 5.04 anymore. you take a security risk by running that version of ubuntu, and we cannot provide support for such an old version. | 18:23 |
| ikonia | glaxo: ok - good news is - your user perms are great, just need to sort out your local permissions | 18:23 |
| arizon | ikonia, give me a shout-out when you have time/would like to explain on how to go about with this | 18:23 |

| Sjimmie | lod____: oke, but did you restart gnome already? it should be good now | 18:32 |
| ikonia | glaxo: ok, now I need "gksudo gedit /etc/shadow" let me know when you are there | 18:32 |
| glaxo | ikonia, yep there | 18:32 |
| Sjimmie | lod____: if you changed your default language to UK | 18:32 |
| lod____ | can I edit some of these locales | 18:33 |
| ikonia | glaxo: I need you to copy the whole line with your username in and paste it at the bottom of the file - as you did with shadow | 18:33 |
| glaxo | ikonia, hmm i get "user root does not exist" | 18:33 |
| frikkie | If I download the 700mb, and then upgrade... do I have to download 700mb every time there is an update? Or is there like an auto updater or something? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | glaxo: user root | 18:33 |
| PloneDork | installed ubuntu studio last night, booted up fine. Then did updates and now when I boot up I get an Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format error. It then gives me the options to boot from ubutu, or recovery but does not want to boot. (ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt) any suggestions | 18:33 |
| DRebellion | frikkie: you only download what you need to update. nowhere near 700mb | 18:33 |
| frikkie | DRebellion, Will that continue until v8 and 9 etc? | 18:33 |
| brobostigon | frikkie: if you rrun an update after install, it only updates the packages that have updates | 18:34 |
| glaxo | ikonia, yes gksudo gedit /etc/shadow yields an alert box with "user root does not exist" | 18:34 |
| DRebellion | frikkie: just - 1) Download the gutsy iso image 2) Burn it to disc 3) Do a clean install | 18:34 |
| frikkie | DRebellion, Okay..... will do that. | 18:34 |
| brobostigon | do a backup | 18:34 |
| * arizon_ will be back in 1 min | 18:34 | |
| ikonia | glaxo: ok - please test "sudo nano /etc/shadow" | 18:34 |
| glaxo | ikonia, sudo: no passwd entry for root! | 18:35 |
| ikonia | glaxo: thats exceptionally worrying | 18:35 |
| glaxo | ikonia, you're telling me! | 18:35 |
| brobostigon | frikkie: backup anything importent first | 18:35 |
| ikonia | glaxo: please test re-editing /etc/passwd | 18:35 |
| glaxo | ikonia, again "user root does not exist" | 18:35 |
| ikonia | glaxo: rats, we should have done this in single user mode | 18:36 |
| magnetron | glaxo: are you logged in as root? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | glaxo: my bad, we should have done /etc/shadow first | 18:36 |
| glaxo | magez, I am not | 18:36 |
| magnetron | glaxo: good | 18:36 |
| glaxo | mangetron, i am not | 18:36 |
| zer07 | woah | 18:36 |
| PloneDork | hello? any suggestions? | 18:36 |
| glaxo | magnetron, sorry about the spellings! | 18:36 |
| ikonia | magnetron: it's my mistake, I've added and /etc/passwd entry before putting in a shadow enty for his password | 18:36 |
| DiDKo | anyvody know after i install ubuntu in safe graphics mode | 18:36 |
| DiDKo | what shoud i do ? | 18:36 |
| glaxo | ikonia, ahh I see the shadow should have come first? | 18:37 |
| * arizon_ is back and ready to be guided through restricted-drivers-installation/update | 18:37 | |
| DiDKo | to boot it ? | 18:37 |
| magnetron | !enter | DiDKo | 18:37 |
| ubotu | DiDKo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:37 |
| ikonia | glaxo: not normally, but do to ubuntu's sudo config, it may have been a wiser call | 18:37 |
| ikonia | glaxo: it didn't hit me how it would effect sudo potentially | 18:37 |
| glaxo | ikonia, not to worry - do I need to restore from my image? | 18:37 |
| LadyNikon | hey. i am looking for a wifi adapter for my linux box. I would like to have it as usb. Any suggestions? | 18:37 |
| DRebellion | !hcl | LadyNikon | 18:37 |
| ubotu | LadyNikon: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 18:37 |
| ikonia | glaxo: no no no, just reboot into single user mode (safe mode) and remove the line from /etc/passwd at the bottom | 18:38 |
| LadyNikon | DRebellion: i wanted people suggestions here | 18:38 |
| magnetron | LadyNikon: my suggestion would be to avoid USB wifi adapters. | 18:38 |
| LadyNikon | magnetron: oh? | 18:38 |
| spleencheesmonke | anyone able to help with wireless networking. seems my wireless card in my desktop doesnt want to connect. keep getting dhclient: wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 | 18:38 |
| glaxo | ikonia, please excuse my ignorance - how do I boot into single user miode? | 18:38 |
| ikonia | glaxo: no problem, just reboot any in your grub menu should be "recovery mode" | 18:39 |
| glaxo | ikonia, will do - catch you shortly | 18:39 |
| ikonia | glaxo: I'll be away for about 25 minutes, I'm going to drive home then resume | 18:39 |
| LadyNikon | magnetron: hard to use with linux or? | 18:39 |
| genii | spleencheesmonke: That is just the host controller designation and not actually the ethernet adapter itself. This happens much with Realtek 8187 wireless chipsets or similar. The one you want is wlan0 | 18:39 |
| magnetron | LadyNikon: if you check the wiki page, you'll notice that the number of USB wifi adapters with working Linux drivers is disturbingly small | 18:39 |

| LadyNikon | magnetron: i am looking at it now | 18:40 |
| lod_ | 10x everyone now the first day of the week is the right one | 18:40 |
| caravel_ | DRebellion: do you have an idea for this Realtek chipset ? I did quite a few searching but no user seems to have cured it permanently ? | 18:40 |
| LadyNikon | magnetron: not surprised.. which is why i asked for opinions :) | 18:40 |
| LadyNikon | magnetron: i dun wanna spend money or stuff that might work | 18:40 |
| spleencheesmonke | genii - thanks for your response. not sure what that means really. can i post you the /var/log/syslog of when i try to connect wirelessly? | 18:40 |
| benny269 | Noob ubuntu user just started here, cant seem to watch videos? any help | 18:40 |
| DRebellion | LadyNikon: mine works perfectly - Belkin F5D7050uk ver. 4002 with gutsy | 18:40 |
| magnetron | LadyNikon: i got a PCI atheros-based card, it works perfectly. | 18:40 |
| DRebellion | LadyNikon: with WEP. haven't tried WPA yet. | 18:40 |
| caravel_ | DRebellion: I just can'y believe the issue is not solved, that chipset is way too popular isn't it ? | 18:40 |
| spleencheesmonke | genii - it was working up until yesterday. dont think i did anything to it! :) | 18:41 |
| LadyNikon | magnetron: i got a congested box.. which is why i was thinking usb. | 18:41 |
| sandr- | does anyone know how i can fix this problem with my desktop: http://users.telenet.be/sandr/video.avi ? | 18:41 |
| genii | spleencheesmonke: Don't bother. Just instead use wlan0 instead of wmaster0 as the adapter you wish to use | 18:41 |
| LadyNikon | DRebellion: hmmm.. | 18:41 |
| DRebellion | !codecs > benny269 (read the pm from ubotu) | 18:41 |
| arizon_ | can I somehow install restricted drivers manager? | 18:41 |
| Petrov | i have xp and vmware 1.0.4. I want install ubuntu but then : asking for cache data failed en assuming drive cache: write through | 18:41 |
| spleencheesmonke | how do i select wlan0? | 18:41 |
| DRebellion | LadyNikon: mind you, gutsy is the only distro its worked properly on ;) | 18:41 |

| danbhfive | arizon_: have you checked your sources yet? | 18:42 |
| benny269 | DRebellion: thank you, before i do that, what is medibuntu? | 18:42 |
| LadyNikon | DiDKo: . ? | 18:42 |
| genii | spleencheesmonke: First see if it will start up. In Terminal: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up then: ifconfig and see if there is a stanza about it now active | 18:42 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: yes, it's enabled already, I have disabled and re-enabled it | 18:42 |
| DRebellion | benny269: basically, stuff we can't put in ubuntu for legal reasons. proprietary software/codecs and stuff | 18:42 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: still doesn't exist in the menu | 18:42 |
| sandr- | medibuntu is a distribution with many multimedia functions and restriced extras | 18:42 |
| magnetron | DiDKo: if you are at the shell, you already have booted. when did your ubuntu stop booting into graphical mode? | 18:42 |
| spleencheesmonke | genii - wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 18:42 |
| benny269 | DRebellion: so is it a program, a distro or codecs or......? | 18:43 |
| DRebellion | benny269: a repository | 18:43 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: try using the CLI, restricted-manager | 18:43 |
| DRebellion | !medibuntu | benny269 | 18:43 |
| ubotu | benny269: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 18:43 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: where do I find that? | 18:43 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: do you know how to open a terminal? | 18:43 |
| sandr- | does anyone know how i can fix this problem with my desktop: http://users.telenet.be/sandr/video.avi ? | 18:43 |
| arizon_ | yes, wait a sec. I'm gonna try | 18:43 |
| arizon_ | ;) | 18:44 |
| Breakage | Hi, whats gives better audio quality on huge speakers? Alsa or OSS? | 18:44 |

| benny269 | DRebellion: lol yes i tried that already but it doesnt mean much to me? whats a repository? what do i use it for? do i need it? | 18:44 |

| DiDKo | magnetron : installed in in safe graphics mode.... | 18:45 |
| DRebellion | benny269: a repository is where lots of packages are stored so you can use programs like synaptic and apt-get to download and install them automagically. | 18:45 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: driver gives me nothing when tabbing | 18:45 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: on the terminal? or in the manager? | 18:45 |

| spleencheesmonke | am at pastebin.com now | 18:46 |
| Jupp2 | I have an old laptop with a semi-working cdrom drive, the drive is good enough to boot into a live session in ubuntu, not good enough to go trough a full install. My questions is: is there a way to boot from a CD and install from a usb drive (my old laptop won't boot from usb)? | 18:46 |
| arizon_ | I have the terminal open, but I can't get any manager started, since I don't know what to write in the terminal to start the mgr | 18:46 |
| benny269 | DRebellion: so what popular packages are included under medibuntu? | 18:46 |
| glaxo | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53064/ thats what I get when trying to run single user login | 18:46 |
| genii | spleencheesmonke: If nt glaxo just told the channel bot to provide the address of it, above. So copy into a pastebin the results of: lsmod then: cat /etc/network/interfaces and: lspci and: lsusb | 18:46 |
| brobostigon | gradin: gthumb | 18:46 |
| DiDKo | magnetron : any clue ? | 18:46 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: please continue to cite my name, it makes it easier for me. The command is restricted-manager | 18:46 |
| arizon_ | yeah, sorry | 18:46 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: ok, I'll try | 18:47 |
| DRebellion | benny269: packages for playing proprietary formats like your videos. what format are they in? | 18:47 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: one sec | 18:47 |
| Eat_pici | How do I install a .tgz file? | 18:47 |
| magnetron | DiDKo: what "safe graphics mode" are you talking about? and what did you install? ubuntu has no "safe graphics mode", is this something you did in windows? | 18:47 |
| DRebellion | !make | Eat_pici | 18:47 |
| ubotu | Eat_pici: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 18:47 |

| Eat_pici | sweet! | 18:47 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: i'll do an apt-get since it's not installed | 18:47 |
| pike_ | Eat_pici: unpack it then take a look at the install or readme file it varies. id recommend looking for a deb or something | 18:47 |
| spleencheesmonke | do i put lsmod into terminal? | 18:47 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: hmmm, thats not right | 18:47 |
| DiDKo | magnetron ubuntu 7.10 64 | 18:47 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: is this vanilla ubuntu? | 18:47 |
| arizon_ | arizon@arizon-desktop:~$ restricted-manager | 18:47 |

| arizon_ | sudo apt-get install restricted-manager | 18:47 |
| DiDKo | magnetron right under install .... | 18:47 |
| DRebellion | spleencheesmonke: yars | 18:48 |
| arizon_ | danbhfive: no It's ordinary gnome kernel ubuntu | 18:48 |
| magnetron | DiDKo: sorry, i don't understand. | 18:48 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: try running this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 18:48 |
| PriceChild | arizon_, did you install ubuntu, or is it linux mint, ubuntu ultimate etc. ? | 18:48 |
| arizon_ | no ubuntu gutsy | 18:48 |

| DiDKo | magnetron when i try to staart my pc ... it goes to the built in shell | 18:49 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: well, you can fix the restricted manager, but the root problem, i believe is that you don't have a full installation, for whatever reason | 18:49 |
| DiDKo | what to do ? | 18:49 |
| benny269 | DRebellion: I' | 18:50 |
| mustafa | to make compiz available .. what should I do? | 18:50 |
| benny269 | I'm not sure, i think divx | 18:50 |
| danbhfive | arizon_: installing ubuntu-desktop gives you a full installation, or at least close to it | 18:50 |
| spleencheesmonke | genii - done | 18:50 |
| spleencheesmonke | seperated entrys by --------- | 18:50 |

| frost0 | histo, add slave? | 19:33 |
| aboed | riaal: ah, good for you | 19:33 |
| Linoman | mustafa: i have a quick question. gimme a sec | 19:33 |
| Pici | Blinkiz: apt-cache search stuff OR aptitude search stuff | 19:33 |
| mustafa | Linoman: but I haven't tried out if making the wireless device load on startup works | 19:33 |
| kitche | Blinkiz: apt-cache search <file> | 19:33 |
| Blinkiz | nice | 19:33 |
| histo | frost0: Making a harddrive slave really doesn't matter. I'm not sure I quite understand your idea. | 19:33 |
| Pici | Blinkiz: Or... if you're looking for a file within a package, apt-file search stuff.ext (you'll need to install the apt-file package first) | 19:34 |
| histo | Blinkiz: linux-image-`uname -r`-server | 19:34 |
| steveire | Hi. I've done ssh user@domain.com. How now do I copy a file on the server to my laptop? | 19:34 |
| frost0 | histo, can i use both....and have 2 seperate hard drives? | 19:34 |
| desertc | mustafa: sorry buddy - the text to path thing? I drew a line with the pencil, and it looks like it is an accepted path. I do Text -> Put on Path, and it says to select the text and a path ... when I do, nothing happens. I feel like an idiot. | 19:34 |
| Linoman | mustafa: read the readme from the website you gave me | 19:34 |
| Blinkiz | histo: Linux-image.. aha.. Nice command :) | 19:34 |
| Linoman | it says something about that | 19:34 |
| Pici | histo: uname -r includes 'server' if you're running the server kernel | 19:34 |

| frost0 | histo, how? | 19:34 |
| pteague | i can't seem to get the server kernel to play nice with the nvidia driver :( | 19:35 |
| dissident | i managed it in opensuse but forgot how | 19:35 |
| histo | Blinkiz: thats the name of the package you would have to sudo apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r`-server | 19:35 |
| steveire | pike_: I'm not sure I get it though. Do I use localhost for host? | 19:35 |
| histo | Blinkiz: the uname -r should just pull your current kernel number if not you may have to put it in 2.6.22-14 or whatever. | 19:35 |
| frost0 | histo, is it hard? | 19:36 |
| viktor | ubuntu gutsy gibbon is that the same as ubuntu gutsy? =) | 19:36 |
| histo | Blinkiz: yeah that wouldn't work you have to type ni the version number | 19:36 |
| histo | Blinkiz: so it would be sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-server | 19:36 |
| pike_ | steveire: so like scp username@servermachine:filename /local/copy/path | 19:36 |
| frost0 | histo, please say its easy ? :) | 19:36 |
| histo | frost0: its not hard if you know what you are doing. There is documentation. | 19:37 |
| Blinkiz | histo: It's okay, I got the kernel. linux-image-2.6.22-14-server was the package | 19:37 |
| pike_ | steveire: and just reverse putting local path first to move to server | 19:37 |
| Blinkiz | histo: Thank you for the help | 19:37 |
| frost0 | histo, linkage por favor? | 19:37 |
| histo | frost0: basically you could plug in the other drive unplug the ubuntu drive and install windows. That way you know its safe. Then plug in the ubuntu drive and reinstall grub. | 19:37 |
| steveire | pike_: OK thanks. So I don't ssh in first? I run that as 'stephen' on my laptop? | 19:37 |

| kashogi | sftp | 20:01 |
| MrObvious | tuxix: I'm not sure, but I just type in an alphanumeric character password all the time for my WPA encryption on both my downstairs Windows XP box and my Linux laptop, and it works fine. I use the Gnome built in networking programs too, using the little icon by the clock. | 20:01 |
| sburwood | Flanger : Xsane seems to want to do something with it but lacks something | 20:02 |
| pike_ | !sftp | kashogi | 20:02 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:02 |
| benny269 | anyone know how to stop window borders becoming FAT with huge lettering? | 20:02 |
| MrObvious | !ftpd > pike_ | 20:02 |
| sburwood | I was using OpenSuse, but had other problems with that | 20:02 |
| mwe | njecto: but you'll probably need to hack udev too. info on aircrack-ng.org for that as well | 20:02 |
| CarlFK | mustafa: doh - din;t find IS the first time I looked... | 20:02 |
| kashogi | sftp cant access outside LAn | 20:02 |
| pike_ | kashogi: basically if youve installed openssh-server you can use sftp instead its already setup. winscp is a handy client on windows for it | 20:02 |
| dho_ragus | pike_: he said that port 22 is locked down. | 20:03 |
| pike_ | kashogi: you can listen on whatever port you want | 20:03 |
| MrObvious | benny269: My guess is you're using a huge font size or high contract theme. Try turning the font size or font DPI down. | 20:03 |
| njecto | <mwe> the doc you said it is outdated. now you say i have to compile and install after removing ubunu madwifi-ng BUT my question remains the same where is the newbie friendly 2008 tutorial??? | 20:03 |
| mustafa | carlfk: no prob | 20:03 |
| pike_ | kashogi: i use 443 to cut through most any network | 20:03 |
| Flanger | sburwood: ;) Sounds fun... I'll check some things | 20:03 |
| kashogi | how do i change that | 20:03 |
| tuxix | MrObvious: the problem is i didn't set the key and my housemate isn't around right now so he can't give me the wep key. thus i have to convert the key given by "iwlist eth1 key" in some format in order to use it on my windows laptop | 20:03 |
| kashogi | i run my server on my mac os x | 20:03 |
| mwe | njecto: just check out the driver and compile/install it. that's a nice howto :) | 20:03 |
| Breakage | Hi im having a prob with gnome-screensaver in xubuntu 7.10, i've set it to disable when idle and regard after 2 hours but it still wont disable. and i get a blank screen after some time. how do i disable it? | 20:03 |
| mustafa | carlffk: it is a really great vector graphic app .. use it all the time when designed websites | 20:03 |
| benny269 | MrObvious: someone helped me download emerald which solved the problem but after restart it reverted? how to i change font and dpi? | 20:03 |
| pike_ | kashogi: gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config there is a line like Port 22 yoiu can add another Port 443 line if ya want | 20:04 |
| sburwood | Flanger : I'd appreciate ... but I don't have much time on the net. | 20:04 |
| MrObvious | tuxix: Ahh I see. Google hex converter and it should pull it up. | 20:04 |
| pike_ | kashogi: then just sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 20:04 |
| sburwood | Flanger : I could give you my e-mail address? | 20:04 |
| MrObvious | benny269: Try System -> Preferences -> Appearance. | 20:04 |
| warlock_ | Hello | 20:05 |

| warlock_ | i need help with dmix in alsa i got 5.1 sound and this script in .asoundrc file http://pastebin.com/m5edf27cc | 20:05 |

| kashogi | let me try that | 20:05 |
| njecto | will i need subeversion? | 20:05 |
| warlock_ | help me please | 20:05 |
| mwe | njecto: build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 20:06 |
| njecto | will i need subversion too? | 20:06 |
| evil666 | Hi! Does anybody know if there are any drivers for Pinnacle devices for ubuntu? | 20:06 |
| Flanger | sburwood: What is the exact error you get? | 20:06 |

| rotini | what kind of utils are available to edit runlevels? | 20:07 |
| mwe | njecto: yes obviously :) | 20:07 |

| golem_ | nevermind, i'm an idiot - there's opera in add/remove... one star, heh | 20:07 |
| pteague | anybody know what i need to do to generate /dev/rtc ? i've got something that keeps complaining that it doesn't exist | 20:07 |
| rotini | scratch that, found it | 20:07 |
| mwe | njecto: but I don't know of a "nice 2008 tutorial" | 20:07 |
| njecto | svn checkout is mumbo jumbo to a newbie | 20:08 |
| mwe | njecto: however, if you do what I said it should work | 20:08 |
| sburwood | Flanger : I don't remember exactly, but saw something like that the last time I looked for information | 20:08 |
| sburwood | brb | 20:08 |
| mwe | njecto: but I told you the command | 20:08 |
| mwe | njecto: svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng | 20:08 |
| mwe | njecto: it will put the source in a directory named madwifi-ng | 20:09 |
| mwe | njecto: open a terminal window and type the svn command and it will download the latest trunk | 20:09 |
| benny269 | MrObvious: no all fonts set to 10 | 20:10 |
| glaxo | does anybody know how to change my UID along with all associated permissions? | 20:10 |
| testfire | Hello everyone! | 20:10 |
| njecto | svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng do i execute that command as normal user or as root? | 20:10 |
| mwe | njecto: I'm sorry I don't think there is any "nice 2008 tutorial" | 20:10 |
| kashogi | kashogi: gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config there is a line like Port 22 yoiu can add another Port 443 line if ya want pike cant do that on mac os x terminal | 20:10 |
| testfire | glaxo: System/Admin/Users and Groups/ ? | 20:11 |
| sburwood | Flanger : I get a message LIKE this one (I can't tell if it is the exact same one) 'artec_eplus48u:libusb:001:003' | 20:11 |
| glaxo | testfire, thanks for that but the uid section in users is greyed out | 20:11 |
| mwe | njecto: only change from a 2007 tutorial is not to patch it and get the latest trunk instead of a specific older revision | 20:11 |
| njecto | the output of the command you told me to execute is : svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/madwifi/trunk'svn: PROPFIND of '/madwifi/trunk': Could not resolve hostname `svn.madwifi.org': No address associated with hostname (http://svn.madwifi.org) | 20:12 |
| testfire | glaxo: Did you need to enter your root password in to open the User settings manager? | 20:12 |
| pike_ | kashogi: i cant support osx :-) | 20:12 |
| glaxo | testfire, yes | 20:12 |
| Hattory | i'm trying to install wlan in my desktop pc.. i installed ndiswrapper and everything.. i see that iwconfig shows me eth1 instead of wlan0.. how to rename it? | 20:12 |
| Flanger | sburwood: Seems like Xsane doesn't support your scanner | 20:13 |
| mwe | njecto: you need a working internet connection on the computer you're using | 20:13 |
| pike_ | kaminix: oh you mean remotely? try sudo nano instead | 20:13 |
| njecto | <mwe> i have a working internet connection on the computer | 20:13 |
| kaminix | Wrong highlight? :p | 20:13 |
| benny269 | anyone know how to stop window borders appearing very large after a restart? | 20:13 |
| Flanger | sburwood: Check out this link http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/adding.html | 20:13 |
| mwe | njecto: it worked here right now. just checked | 20:13 |
| testfire | glaxo: might want to try logging in a root and see if it works. | 20:14 |
| Blice | On the main menu, how can I have "Applications", "Places", and "System" say something else? | 20:14 |
| sburwood | Flanger : sounds complicated | 20:15 |
| mustafa | I have no sound here | 20:15 |
| sajes | why does gxine say "The xine engine failed to start. No demuxer found - stream format not recognised" when I try to play a dvd? (I have libdvdread3 installed) | 20:15 |

| dracula2 | can there be a virus in linux? | 20:15 |
| mwe | njecto: svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng <-- copy paste that. it will work if you have subversion and your internet is working | 20:16 |
| testfire | dracula2: yes, but it would be very, very hard. | 20:16 |
| njecto | ok that command works. i have a madwifi-ng dir now Do i need to install any patches? | 20:16 |
| bahadunn | what is needed to be in compliance with licenses and sell computers with ubuntu pre-installed? | 20:16 |
| mwe | njecto: I told you | 20:16 |
| Ertu | Hattory: mine shows eth1 as well and it works | 20:16 |
| mwe | njecto: two times. but again no :) | 20:16 |
| Flanger | sburwood: I never experienced a prob such as this, but it's just typing in 3-6 commands in the console. | 20:16 |
| sburwood | Flanger : I hope that that works ... So I need to download a driver and do something with a file *.c | 20:17 |
| njecto | ok | 20:17 |
| dracula2 | <testfire> why? | 20:17 |
| mwe | njecto: remove the ubuntu madwifi-ng, though | 20:17 |
| sburwood | Flanger : do you believe in divine intervention to help a newbie like me? ;) | 20:17 |
| Hattory | Ertu, anyway, where can i find that thing? | 20:17 |
| clearzen | dracula2: you're more likely to see things like logic bomb. the way user permission are set up make it very hard. | 20:17 |
| kbs | hello, I cant get my Vaio's sound working on Gutsy, I would appreciate any help | 20:17 |
| mwe | njecto: if you don't your custom driver will posibly be overwritten when you update ubuntu | 20:17 |
| releod | Does anyone know how I can share media from my ubuntu-desktop to my xbox 360? | 20:18 |
| Ertu | Hattory: have you configured your wireless connection with the gnome network app? | 20:18 |
| clearzen | releod: samba? | 20:18 |
| testfire | dracula2: because the way the Linux is setup with permissions and such it makes it extremely hard for one to do anything. | 20:19 |
| dracula2 | clearzen what is a logic bomb? | 20:19 |
| njecto | i did execute as root : ifconfig ath0 down and ifconfig wifi0 down but iwconfig still lists ath0 is that OK? | 20:19 |
| releod | clearzen: any links I can read? I enabled samba sharing, but my xbox360 does not see the shares, or at least I do not know how to tell it to see the shares.. | 20:19 |
| twistedbeatfreek | anyone know how to make the winbdows catch on fire when minimizing them ? | 20:19 |
| Hattory | Ertu, yes i did, it's recognised.. but it gives me error when i try to ifup eth1 | 20:19 |
| testfire | twistedbeatfreek: install the compiz plugin. | 20:19 |
| clearzen | dracula2: it is a process that uses all available resources (cpu, ram) until the box is restarted basically. | 20:19 |
| mwe | njecto: yes if ifconfig doesn't | 20:20 |
| star1 | Does anyone know how I could shrink an ext3 partition at /dev/sdb2 ? | 20:20 |

| testfire | I'm not sure if there is one, I assume there is one, I know there is one in beryl, but not sure about compiz, let me google it.. | 20:20 |
| clearzen | dracula2: or you could set it up to drop databases etc when certain conditions are met | 20:20 |

| mats_ | testfire restricted extras? | 20:22 |
| star1 | JDLimbo: Plus all the partitions show up with little lock symbols next to them in gparted, but I just assumed that's because they were mounted at the time | 20:22 |

I notice a post regarding Belkin Wireless-G card model F5D9010 returns as a first match on Google, the post is unanswered, but I have updated information.

| ubotu | Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 20:31 |

| ivan_ | hello- some time back someone gave me a link to a good site to help configure a virtual server in apache2 | 20:38 |
| ivan_ | can anyone help? | 20:39 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: X -reconfigure | 20:39 |
| leetdood | then i had a choice of showing detailed X output, or not, and after that was console | 20:39 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: try X - reconfigure and try the Xorg.conf it puts out | 20:39 |
| BFCPP | Hello does anybody know a good chat for scripting ? | 20:39 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: if that works, move that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:39 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: make sure to rename the old xorg.conf first | 20:40 |
| leetdood | just 'x -reconfigure'? and how do i use the xorg.conf? (sorry, really new at using ubuntu) | 20:40 |
| ivan_ | any one here use ebox? | 20:40 |
| Starnestommy | leetdood: the X is capital | 20:40 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: capital X | 20:40 |
| leetdood | ah, ok | 20:40 |
| kane77 | do newly installed gnome applets show in the add applet menu rightaway or is it necessary to restart the panel? | 20:40 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: then "xstart (new xorg.conf listed when you ran X -reconfigure)" | 20:40 |
| leetdood | alright, thanks, I'll do that | 20:41 |
| vwbusguy | leetdood: if that doesn't work, use dpkg to reconfigure your X, it's more options and more things to know, but it's another tool there for you | 20:42 |
| tyranos | hello everyone i tried updating my nvidia drivers in gutsy but i cannott edit xorg.conf anymore as everytime this failsafe mode comes and resets everything | 20:42 |

| vwbusguy | tyranos: by enabling restricted drivers, ubuntu should edit this for you | 20:43 |
| fullsyst3m | cm/ | 20:43 |
| vwbusguy | tyranos: I'd let Ubuntu put your xorg.conf together if at all possible | 20:43 |

| Flare183 | there | 21:37 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: then, I asked u guys what to do | 21:37 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: ok, and u do have a backup o/s on ur system, right? | 21:37 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: no? | 21:37 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: hmmm | 21:37 |
| PriceChild | nano__, do you see the "network manager" applet up top right, near the clock and volume? It looks like a bar chart or computer screens. | 21:37 |
| azexian | nano in that case they will probably replace it, if you connect to the router it is VERY unlikely to be an issue with the software, unless you have a dead ethernet port, you could try asking for a new one perhaps, unless it works on other os? | 21:37 |
| Moduliz0r | how do I install and use tor? | 21:37 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: yes, I have win xp | 21:37 |
| PriceChild | nano__, Does that tell you that you are connected? or does the blue thing just keep going round and round. | 21:38 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: I have kubuntu too that I want to delete and reinstall | 21:38 |
| PriceChild | azexian, lets not jump to conclusions. | 21:38 |
| Flare183 | !tor | Moduliz0r | 21:38 |
| ubotu | Moduliz0r: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 21:38 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: Seems to actuall be working now, what did you do? | 21:38 |
| Moduliz0r | thanks | 21:38 |
| dracula2 | ey how can i install another distro (zenwalk) along with ubuntu without burning a cd? | 21:38 |
| Flare183 | Moduliz0r: no problem | 21:38 |
| mwe | Stone_age: so you can't log on to mysql on your local host, or is it remote? | 21:38 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: ok, then if ur running kubuntu from the dvd, then u should be able to just format the partition from there | 21:38 |
| azexian | pricechild ubuntu support for ethernet is huge, and the isp will replace it, I don't see any risk | 21:38 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: It always showed a signal, its just when loading a page the connection timed out | 21:38 |
| PriceChild | azexian, you have *no* idea what the problem is... you're jumping to conclusions. | 21:38 |
| azexian | nano ah... | 21:38 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: then reboot with the dvd and it should go on normally | 21:38 |
| PriceChild | nano__, but it is working now. | 21:39 |
| PriceChild | ? | 21:39 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: right. but Im telling u that I got error message from kdedesktop | 21:39 |
| dr-spangle | @Flame183 or mwe: It said "A write error occured. Failed to write lead-in." | 21:39 |

| leprasmurf | hello all, I'm trying to enable nvidia tv out. I've already tried enabling it by the docs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOut, but I'm still seeing a screen full of green and multicolored blocks | 21:39 |
| azexian | child* | 21:39 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: strangely, though it is slow | 21:39 |
| PriceChild | azexian, you were also missing the point that it wasn't working with wireless OR wired. | 21:39 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: it says:"the process for the media protocol died unexcpectedly | 21:39 |
| Vermux | " | 21:39 |
| PriceChild | nano__, wireless? | 21:39 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: what does it mean? | 21:39 |
| azexian | pricechild yes, but that makes it even more likely to be a router issue | 21:39 |
| Flare183 | dr-spangle: not good could either be the drive or the cd itself | 21:39 |
| joe_ | My printer shows up in the window "Configure - KDE Control Module" and when I try to print a document, it shows up. Also there is a little printer up near my clock and it shows the status fo print jobs. BUT nothing prints even though the status windwo says its complete. what could be causing this? | 21:39 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: when i get errors from my desktop, i just work around them thru the terminal | 21:39 |
| PriceChild | azexian, and sending it back is really a last resort. | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | joe_: wrong driver | 21:40 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: but does this error imlpy on hardware problem? | 21:40 |
| azexian | pricechild they will give him a better one, seems like a pretty good solution to me | 21:40 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: though it did work last night for about 5 minutes so i'm not going to conclude that everythings alright yet | 21:40 |
| joe_ | Flare183: dude, that makes me very sad | 21:40 |

| azexian | flare183 its > to send a message to someone | 21:41 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: yes wireless | 21:41 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: ? | 21:41 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: it could also mean that since u already have kubuntu on the h/d, the dvd doesn't want to put it back on top of itself | 21:41 |
| Flare183 | azexian: I know i forgot | 21:41 |
| joe_ | !drivers | 21:41 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:41 |
| azexian | flare183 just checking :) | 21:41 |
| gavin_ | Is that the command? | 21:41 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: if u've made any changes to the system settings | 21:41 |
| nano__ | PriceChild: i doubt theres anything wrong with the router as i'm using it on two computers right now | 21:41 |
| Flare183 | joe_: I don't know keep asking | 21:41 |
| PriceChild | nano__, probably wise :) I would suggest you try accessing http://212.58.224.131 next time. That is the ip of the bbc. It might just be dns problems rather than general connection for example. | 21:42 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: that's the only thing i can think of | 21:42 |

| PriceChild | nano__, so it would be working on one computer but not the other at the same time? | 21:42 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: right | 21:42 |
| azexian | nano__ if you ping google.com does it change to the ip of google? | 21:42 |
| Vermux | faithful_one: do u recommend continuing or rebooting and seeing if I ge t that message again? | 21:42 |

| Flare183 | draginx: thats all of them | 21:48 |

| Stone_age | It is localhost. It set the password and it is unknown. On any other distro, the password is blank and the user is root. Not this one. And where the conf file with the password is located is beyond me. It will be faster dumping this for fedora that searching for the file. | 21:48 |
| Flare183 | draginx: no problem | 21:49 |
| faithful_one | azexian: he can't get kubuntu to install from the dvd | 21:49 |
| Vermux | azexian: yes, I boot from the kubuntu dvd in order to install it. I have currently kubuntu installed already. I want to format it and install it | 21:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stone_age: What is your question or your point? | 21:49 |
| nemilar | Stone_age: are you still looking for the mysql/root password solution? | 21:49 |

| faithful_one | azexian: it doesn't sound like it's even getting that far into the process | 21:50 |
| azexian | nano__ so you can't ping msn.com? did you try killing all other network devices? | 21:50 |
| Danagin | when I try the ip address I still get the username and password box.. . nothing I type in gives me access. | 21:50 |
| azexian | vermux/faithful_one is it perhaps a dodgy disk? | 21:50 |
| Danagin | should I \\ipaddress | 21:51 |
| faithful_one | azexian: it worked last week | 21:51 |
| Vermux | azexian: what is dodgy? the message I got was "the process for the media protocol died unexcpectedly" | 21:51 |
| Chafka | pike_, how with uid :S or guid ?? some guide please | 21:51 |

| azexian | vermux ok, first type df -h to see a list of hdd's, can you tell from that the right one? if not msg it to me | 21:53 |
| azexian | faithful_one fair enough :) | 21:53 |
| Vermux | so what is the next step? | 21:53 |
| Vermux | maybe booting with winxp and then deleteing kubuntu? | 21:53 |
| azexian | nano__ do the other computers on the network still work ? | 21:53 |
| nano__ | yes, i'm using one | 21:53 |
| faithful_one | Vermux: i don't even know if windows will be able to see the kubuntu partition | 21:53 |

| chuy_max | hi, I have a printing issue, everytime I want to print something, it doesn't print the last 10cm, I'm using letter sized sheets, and the apps I use are configured correctly to use that paper size | 22:01 |

| secret_023 | Hi, I used another monitor on my PC for a week. After that I returned to my previous lcd monitor. Since that, I have some strange behavior; 1- my screen resolution reset at each startup 2- my screen resolution reset after I use vmware in full screen mode. I did not change my xorg.conf. Any idea ? (using ubuntu 7.10) msg me please | 22:01 |
| glaxo | my mounted drive /mnt/nas1 has an icon showing on the desktop. my understanding is that this should only happen if it is mapped under /media - how can I remove this without turning off icons for cd-roms / USB drives? anyone? | 22:01 |
| Flare183 | chuy_max: the problem is the settings on gnome | 22:01 |
| vwbusguy | Vermux: if you are using GRUB and format the partition with GRUB on it, you won't be able to boot any OS. | 22:01 |
| vwbusguy | Vermux: but you can use the Windows CD to rewrite the MBR for you | 22:02 |
| Vermux | vwbusguy: BUT i HAVE WIN XP ON IT | 22:02 |
| erUSUL | secret_023: can you not reconfigure the resolution on System>Admin>screen and graphics? | 22:02 |

| vwbusguy | Vermux: yes but it's chainlaoded through GRUB | 22:02 |
| mwe | sybariten: sounds to me like ssh needs to be configured to use unicode. I'm only guessing, though. | 22:02 |
| Vermux | vwbusguy: and I have the kubuntu dvd | 22:02 |
| chuy_max | Flare183, mmm, is it a common problem?, do you know how to fix it? | 22:02 |
| phaidros | hi, using laserjet 5p via usb adapter I get a very nice device /dev/usblp0, but neither cups nor hp-tools find the printer .. | 22:03 |
| Flare183 | chuy_max: yeah go to the system menu, and then find priners | 22:03 |
| azexian | vermux, if you do that you will loose grub, although if you have mucked up your partition table you might not be able to do anything else, if no partitions are coming up... | 22:03 |
| Flare183 | printers* | 22:03 |
| azexian | vermux can you ls /dev/hd* ls /dev/sd* for me please | 22:03 |
| Flare183 | chuy_max: and then click it, right click on the printer and click properties | 22:03 |

| phaidros | joe_: on the job, right-click .. cancel | 22:04 |

| Vermux | azexian: so what do I do next? | 22:06 |
| azexian | vermux ok, they will currently be differently types, one is swap, one is probably ext3, and one is home I expect, does that sound about right? | 22:06 |
| Flare183 | phaidros: add new printer and then find a driver that uses that device | 22:06 |
| Vermux | azexian: exactly | 22:06 |
| Flare183 | chuy_max: yeah should be another option | 22:07 |
| azexian | vermux do you know which ones which? :p | 22:07 |
| Vermux | azexian: root, home, and swap | 22:07 |
| Vermux | azexian: this order | 22:07 |
| brobostigon | home will be ext3 too proebely | 22:07 |

| Moduliz0r | Vermux: I'm like that too | 22:07 |
| azexian | vermux kk, so we need to run sudo mxfs.ext3 on both the home and root partitions, that will get rid of it | 22:07 |
| Flare183 | joe_: ok then goto system menu, adminstration (i think), then printers | 22:07 |

| Vermux | azexian: by the way I downloaded the software u told me about (partitions) | 22:11 |
| azexian | vermux ok, from the ls command, it needs to be that number, you can use tab if you like, but it should be /dev/sda4, if that doesn't exist then why was it there a sec ago? | 22:11 |
| azexian | vermux excellent, forget the commands, just use that :p | 22:11 |
| brobostigon | vermux: was it gparted | 22:11 |

| mwe | azexian: yeah | 22:17 |
| azexian | mwe resent* | 22:17 |
| Flare183 | dracula2: you have to have zenwalk on disk to install it using virtual box | 22:17 |

| mwe | ghoulsblade: xset dpms force off I think | 22:31 |
| azexian | ghoulsbalde lol, kk, one sec | 22:31 |
| azexian | ghoulsblade or that :p | 22:31 |
| ghoulsblade | hmm can i do things like echo 0 > /proc/acpi/bla without breaking anything ? | 22:31 |
| desertc | Ashnal: Has it ever worked? | 22:31 |
| mwe | froosch: it will probably make the applet work again as well | 22:31 |
| Zoo- | the issue, if I leave acpi=on, I have to do.. echo -n 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/C20F/state | 22:31 |
| mwe | froosch: put the module name in /etc/modules to make sure it's autoloaded at each boot | 22:31 |
| desertc | Ashnal: Try this >>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930 | 22:32 |
| js_ | for some reason i get extremely small fonts using the nvidia driver in xubuntu, what can that be related to? | 22:32 |
| alexbOrsova | does anyone knoe how to record the sound output of an application? | 22:32 |
| nano_ | when is flash going to get fixed | 22:32 |
| alexbOrsova | *know | 22:32 |
| Zoo- | and it has a total of 4 state files in there, lol.. but that turns it on full speed, but then after a while it shuts off.. and I still use an xp pro vlk, that I work with on a daily basis, as I work with alot of different software, and support systems with kaspersky internet security | 22:32 |
| Zoo- | heya ghoulsblade | 22:32 |
| desertc | alexbOrsova: you can do it - I've done it before | 22:32 |
| stasbull | Hi guys! | 22:32 |
| mwe | nano_: I think you can just use the installer from adobe.com | 22:32 |
| azexian | nano__ flash is fixed | 22:32 |
| ghoulsblade | mwe, thx , it worked =) | 22:32 |
| alexbOrsova | desertc: how? | 22:32 |
| Ashnal | desetc, yes but i resterted my computer and it doesnt anymore, i suspect the module isnt loaded | 22:32 |
| mwe | nano_: that works here | 22:32 |
| stasbull | Today I've got ubuntu desktop | 22:32 |
| azexian | stasbull haven't we all :p | 22:33 |
| desertc | alexbOrsova: not sure, but you can record anything. it's wickedly easy, I just don't remember how, something built-in | 22:33 |
| desertc | alexbOrsova: google is your friend | 22:33 |
| stasbull | the question is how can I get to console from desktop? | 22:33 |
| Ashnal | desertc, FATAL: Error inserting snd_ca0106 (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ca0106/snd-ca0106.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) | 22:33 |
| azexian | stasbull applications --> terminal | 22:33 |
| alexbOrsova | desertc: I've been googling for an hour and none of the proposed methods have worked so far | 22:33 |
| elvirolo | i'm having a network problem : i have two laptops here ; on the first one, whenever i connect it via ethernet to my modem, the internet connection works fine (using dhcp). on the second one though (also running gutsy), i get the following message "No working leases in persistent database"... both /etc/ntwork/interfaces are exactly the same... why is that ? | 22:33 |
| rutter | It seems azexian is busy with a couple of others, can anyone else help me with these white bars I get while playing DVDs | 22:33 |
| mwe | stasbull: ctrl+alt+f1, alt+f7 to get back | 22:33 |
| nano__ | azexian: did you see my last message? | 22:34 |
| rutter | http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/Hellcom/DVD.png | 22:34 |
| desertc | Ashnal: ugh - is it one of those sound blaster value cards? | 22:34 |
| Vermux | azexian: ok, eventually I used the kubuntu live dvd to boot | 22:34 |
| ghoulsblade | Zoo-, hi, do i know you from somewhere ? | 22:34 |
| Vermux | azexian: BUT them the computer froze now | 22:34 |
| Ashnal | desertc, its an audigy of some type and it was working yesterday | 22:34 |
| Vermux | azexian: as it happaned with win xp many times | 22:34 |
| stasbull | thanks man. I've tried ctrl+alt+f1 but didnt get back | 22:34 |
| froosch | mwe: power manager still not working after restart. maybe on next reboot. hint for /etc/modules: yay, thanks for that | 22:34 |
| longjon | hiya there | 22:34 |
| mwe | stasbull: so alt+f7 doesn't get you back into x window? | 22:35 |
| desertc | Ashnal: Sorry, not sure. What did dmesg say? | 22:35 |
| azexian | vermux ok, I'm not quite sure what you can do until you get to the cli, if you edit the boot loading of grub on the kubuntu disk (f7 I believe) I type single, and delete quiet splash, it will make you get to cli | 22:35 |
| Ashnal | desertc, where would i find dmesg? | 22:35 |
| azexian | rutter sorry rutter, I have no idea about that :s | 22:35 |
| stasbull | not quite sure about alt +f7 | 22:35 |
| rutter | ok | 22:35 |
| desertc | Ashnal: just type it at a terminal | 22:36 |
| rutter | any idea where I can get help with that? | 22:36 |
| mwe | froosch: you're welcome. | 22:36 |
| desertc | Ashnal: might take you a little while to get comfortable looking at the output, but keep with it | 22:36 |
| azexian | rutter #mplayer perhaps? | 22:36 |
| rutter | ok | 22:36 |
| ghoulsblade | mwe, works like a charm , many thanks =D | 22:36 |
| alexbOrsova | so does anyone here know how to record sound card output? | 22:37 |
| Zoo- | ah screw it, time to read all the books I have | 22:37 |
| Ashnal | desertc, ive been looking through pages and pages of stuff trying to fix my cracling sound for about 2 days, and somewhere along the line i made it worse, and now the module doesnt even want to load | 22:37 |
| mwe | ghoulsblade: great | 22:37 |
| Vermux | azexian: if I'll change in the bios under the hdd configuration to disable the 32bit data transfer is it fine? | 22:37 |
| ubuntuo | a | 22:37 |
| arialth | i am having a problem with video on Ubuntu 7.04 on an hp dv9420us. The system itself runs smoothly, but when i shut down, i get a black screen, but it is not flat black, because i get some VERY strange anamollies which are like bars of distortion flying down the screen (it is hard to describe.) In addition, when i suspend/hybernate, i get the black screen, too, and i can shut down and logs tell me it was a normal shutdown, but i cannot even switch to tty1 | 22:37 |
| azexian | vermux if you need to that's ok, it' best to keep it though | 22:37 |
| === ubuntuo is now known as ally_oxoxox | ||
| Vermux | ok | 22:38 |
| azexian | vermux it will just make things slower :) | 22:38 |

| azexian | vermux you don't need the cd, you just need to go into grub, and delete silent splash, and add single, that will get you into a command line, without the graphical stuff, shouldn't crash then | 22:38 |
| stasbull | <mwe> thanks it works with alt+f7 | 22:39 |
| Vermux | azexian: when the computer freeze it makes a click noise | 22:39 |
| nano__ | azexian: did you see my last message? | 22:39 |
| mwe | stasbull: cool | 22:39 |
| azexian | nano__ which one nano? | 22:39 |
| stasbull | now can I switch from desktop to console and back | 22:39 |
| azexian | vermux is it overheating? | 22:39 |
| stasbull | thanks)! | 22:39 |
| nano__ | azexian:it doesnt work with ethernet | 22:39 |
| ally_oxoxox | hey i have a question | 22:39 |
| mwe | yw | 22:39 |
| ally_oxoxox | my xchat-gnome doesnt display the users in #ubuntu, why? | 22:39 |
| Vermux | azexian: I got the following error when booting: cmos checksum bad | 22:40 |
| lod_ | i have this in my dmesg: icmpv6_send: addr_any/mcast source | 22:40 |
| azexian | nano__ that is odd, it could be a bad driver for your eth link, but the fact that it can ping google means that's not the case | 22:40 |
| lod_ | what does it mean? how to stop it | 22:40 |
| azexian | vermux that means that your bios is dodgy | 22:40 |
| Ashnal | desertc, do you know how to fix those errors? | 22:40 |
| Vermux | azexian: F1 to run setup f2 to load defualt values and continue | 22:40 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: did you enable it in settings. perhaps it's "off screen" try maximizing the window | 22:41 |
| azexian | verux press f6 / f7 | 22:41 |
| azexian | vermux* | 22:41 |
| nano_ | <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about your mom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:41 |

| Fackamato | Hi. I just built a custom realtime kernel with the help from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, and the kernel image .deb installs fine, however, installing the headers .deb gives me this: linux-headers-2.6.24-5-rt depends on linux-headers-2.6.24-5, but: | 22:41 |
| Fackamato | Package linux-headers-2.6.24-5 is not installed. | 22:41 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: or dragging the edge at the scroll bar | 22:41 |
| Fackamato | Anyone know of a solution? | 22:41 |
| azexian | vermux I'm not quite sure, go through f5 -f12 it's one of them :p | 22:41 |
| ally_oxoxox | nope that did not work | 22:41 |
| nano__ | azexian: also it worked wirelessly and via ethernet elsewhere | 22:41 |
| ally_oxoxox | i max the screen but i cant see the users in #ubuntu | 22:42 |
| ally_oxoxox | i checked my prefernces too | 22:42 |
| ally_oxoxox | nothing | 22:42 |
| azexian | nano__ did you try killing the other connections? | 22:42 |
| azexian | vermux that error is serious, you might need to flash your bois :s | 22:42 |
| ally_oxoxox | its called xchat-gnome 0.18 nwe | 22:42 |
| bryn | nano__: have u got a proxy server setup in your browser? | 22:42 |
| Vermux | azexian: ok, I will remember that | 22:42 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: try pulling the right edge at the scroll bar. the list can be hidden | 22:42 |
| Vermux | azexian: ok, now, which device should I boot from? | 22:42 |
| Vermux | azexian: I gor the list of devices | 22:43 |
| Vermux | azexian: hard drive or the live kubuntu dvd? | 22:43 |
| azexian | vermux live disk | 22:43 |
| andrewmin | anyone know where the apt cache is stored and how to clear it? | 22:43 |
| rich4 | I've a question regarding beryl | 22:43 |
| andrewmin | i createda faulty package | 22:43 |
| ally_oxoxox | Nope that didnt work | 22:43 |
| ally_oxoxox | hmm | 22:43 |
| azexian | vermux but you need to add single remember :p | 22:43 |
| andrewmin | and i need to remove it | 22:43 |
| nano__ | azexian: which others, to these other two desktops? | 22:43 |
| nano__ | bryn: no | 22:43 |
| andrewmin | but it wont remove because the post remove scripts is faulty | 22:43 |
| Vermux | azexian: where? | 22:44 |
| danand | andrewmin: apt-get clean to clear - /var/apt/cache i believe | 22:44 |
| zoobox | anyone knows if gcdw is built in now in cdw? | 22:44 |
| Starnestommy | andrewmin: somewhere in /var/cache | 22:44 |
| andrewmin | yeah, i tried that | 22:44 |
| Vermux | azexian: I typed F6 | 22:44 |
| andrewmin | but the package wasnt htere | 22:44 |
| maronnax_ | autotools | 22:44 |
| andrewmin | how do you use autotools? | 22:44 |
| Vermux | azexian: it asks me about boot options | 22:44 |
| bcardarella | Is there any reason why the Alternate Install CD (text-based) would be going slow? (64-bit) It took around 3 minutes just to boot to the initial window then everything goes very slow | 22:44 |
| azexian | vermux press c, I thought you were booting live cd, you are running grub from hdd right? | 22:44 |
| azexian | vermux oh ok | 22:44 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: well here it's quite hard to pull the right point if it's hidden. has to be very close to the left edge but not at the edge | 22:44 |
| Vermux | azexian: no, Im running the dvd | 22:45 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: err right edge | 22:45 |
| ally_oxoxox | mwe_ i already max the screen | 22:45 |
| azexian | vermux you need to remove silent and splash, and type single | 22:45 |
| ally_oxoxox | wouldnt that work? | 22:45 |
| Vermux | azexian: I c a line containing the word splash | 22:45 |
| maronnax_ | andrewmin, wrong window, sorry | 22:45 |
| andrewmin | ok | 22:45 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: I just realized it doesn't reveal the list if you maximize the window | 22:45 |
| danand | andrewmin: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 22:45 |
| Vermux | azexian: how do I remove them | 22:45 |
| andrewmin | danand: i checked there, but my package aint there | 22:45 |
| ally_oxoxox | well mwe: i tried to get it working but it wont | 22:45 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: I have the pull just left of the right edge of the window | 22:45 |
| andrewmin | basically, it gives me a post-removal scripts error | 22:46 |
| zoobox | since gcdw is "dependent" on cdw but cdw "is in conflict with" gcdw ? | 22:46 |
| andrewmin | and i fixed that | 22:46 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: try view->user list as well | 22:46 |
| azexian | kubuntu may be different... press e, then hold down backspace | 22:46 |
| andrewmin | but it wont reinstall | 22:46 |
| azexian | and enter | 22:46 |
| mwe | ally_oxoxox: is it checked? | 22:46 |

| andrewmin | danand: i messed up the post-install scripts. but now i cant remove it :-P | 22:48 |

| Vermux | azexian: ok, when Im on the Start or install Kubuntu, I c at the bottom of the page a line that says at the end of it quite splash | 22:48 |
| danand | andrewmin: Have you tried using aptitude - it has section for obsolete and locally created packages | 22:48 |

| FreeAtMind | someone says if Lamego user is portuguese?? | 22:55 |
| famicon | LetsGo67 yeah, just compile them into your kernel | 22:55 |
| Vermux | azexian: what is next step? | 22:55 |
| LetsGo67 | famicon, it's called a Famicom. | 22:55 |
| azexian | vermux excellent, now we're getting there :), ok, first we need to format each drive | 22:55 |
| LetsGo67 | famicon, any simple way? | 22:55 |
| Vermux | azexian: each partition? | 22:55 |
| soundray | LetsGo67: don't listen to famicon. Ubuntu comes with drivers for intel | 22:55 |
| iBA86 | is the automatic process instal similar to installing a regular program on windows? | 22:55 |
| Vermux | azexian: what is the command again? | 22:55 |

| famicon | oh yeah, LetsGo67 he's right | 22:55 |
| LetsGo67 | SoundRay: will I get a restricted drivers notification, just like nvidia? | 22:56 |
| famicon | you can select the driver from somewhere in the configuration menu | 22:56 |
| famicon | LetsGo67 no | 22:56 |
| LetsGo67 | famicon, you should change your screenname to famicom. | 22:56 |
| === famicon is now known as famicom | ||
| LetsGo67 | Congrats! | 22:56 |

| k3zo | how do i copy one users settings to another's in ubuntu? I've just setup the system for the initial user and want an exact replica for anothers | 22:58 |
| azexian | vermux ok, that doesn't matter, swap doesn't contain anything anyway, just leave it, but looks like you're done :) | 22:59 |
| SuPeRhOmEm | LetsGo67; if i'm asking for an away script.. this means I want to improove more functions to my /away command | 22:59 |
| famicom | bcardarella it treats your different drives as one entire filesystem | 22:59 |
| LetsGo67 | Thank you sir soundray. | 22:59 |
| dracula2 | how can i open a distro ISO through virtualbox? | 22:59 |
| famicom | so you no longer work with seperate drivers but one but drive | 22:59 |
| max_ | you need to mount the ISO | 22:59 |
| bcardarella | famicom: so if I only have one drive it doesn't make sense to do this? | 22:59 |
| Vermux | azexian: ok, what now? | 22:59 |
| famicom | bcardarella i could be wrong, cause it is used for partitioning as well | 22:59 |
| famicom | in fact, forget whatever i said and use google | 23:00 |
| Vermux | azexian: now, boot again from the dvd? | 23:00 |
| azexian | vermux next step is to try the kubuntu live disk, if you feel lazy just type init 5 now, and it will go on, single puts you in what's called init 2, which is just for command stuff, init 5 is the gui | 23:00 |
| CyberGabber | dracula2: for vbox issues join #vbox | 23:00 |
| k3zo | can I copy the home folder and change the owner/mod of the files to copy the setup? | 23:00 |

| k3zo | jtt: sorry will that change the mod to the new user? | 23:02 |
| CyberGabber | jtt: And what about the users file-rights ? | 23:02 |
| Vermux | yes, but it made clicks like it used to do when winxp froze | 23:02 |

| Vermux | azexian: yes | 23:03 |
| Vermux | azexian: thank u so much | 23:03 |
| azexian | vermux no problem :) | 23:03 |

| jtt | k3zo, even is you mess up you can delete the newuser and try again | 23:05 |

| xbass2006 | witam | 23:35 |
| Mahone | PriceChild: linux-headers-2.6.22-14 is already to the most recent version | 23:35 |
| PriceChild | Mahone, then it is installed | 23:35 |
| soundray | viktor: it's a wizard. You will see | 23:35 |

| Mahone | PriceChild: My feeling is that the package has not its address in my repos... | 23:37 |
| kylcrow_ | its been 70 percent, and I have no problem with the same laptop using windows | 23:37 |
| Mahone | PriceChild: Could you please give me your /etc/apt/sources.list? | 23:37 |
| PriceChild | Mahone, 2.6.20-16 isn't a current ubuntu released kernel is it? | 23:38 |
| aruonoaru | can someone help me with a java problem, | 23:38 |
| soundray | genewitch: just checking things here, hold on... | 23:38 |
| genewitch | soundray: take your time, thanks for the help :-) | 23:38 |
| scguy318 | !source-o-matic | Mahone | 23:38 |
| ubotu | Mahone: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 23:38 |
| aruonoaru | can someone help me with a java problem, | 23:38 |
| astro76 | !ask | aruonoaru | 23:38 |
| ubotu | aruonoaru: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:38 |
| genewitch | soundray: I've got i8042.nomux set in the kernel thing in grub, but there was another option to try, but i can't find it again now :-( i8042.nops2 or something like that | 23:38 |
| solexious | Hello all, how can I check if ubuntu supports my generic pci raid card? | 23:39 |
| Nicksys | How do I add a password to rar files? | 23:39 |
| Mahone | uboty: I know source-o-matic, but if you try to access it, it isn't available now... | 23:39 |
| hotdog003 | Nicksys: Rar is a propietary format. I doubt that you'd be able to do it with Ubuntu. | 23:39 |
| aruonoaru | how do i log into system administrator | 23:39 |
| soundray | genewitch: here's another approach: go to tuxmobil.org, look up your laptop model and see if anyone else had similar difficulties | 23:39 |
| hotdog003 | ubotu, tell aruonoaru about sudo | 23:39 |
| astro76 | !sudo | aruonoaru | 23:39 |
| ubotu | aruonoaru: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 23:39 |
| Mahone | PriceChild: It has been installed automaticly through Update manager... | 23:39 |
| danbhfive | kylcrow_ i had the same problem, try changing the channel that your wireless is operating on | 23:39 |
| kylcrow_ | I recently put Ubuntu 7.10 on my made for Windows Laptop, help needed setting up wireless internet. | 23:40 |
| viktor | soundray: set of characters that should be supported by the console font" ? im swedish, what the hell should i take? XD | 23:40 |
| soundray | viktor: no swearing please. And I don't know, look through the list for likely candidates | 23:40 |
| danand | andrewmin: Just thought - dpkg -L | --listfiles package ... List files installed to your system from package. Manual remove perhaps then update dpkg's list of installed packages | 23:40 |
| danbhfive | kylcrow_ i used ndiswrapper to get the wireless working, and I figure, that since its not native linux, linux has trouble restarting the NIC if the wireless drops | 23:40 |
| kylcrow_ | ndiswrapper can i search for that in add/remove programs | 23:41 |
| Mahone | Since source-o-matic isn't available, can someone please send me his/her /etc/apt/sources.list? | 23:41 |
| Ette | im trying to run warsow via ./warsow.i386 in terminal. it worked before and only just stopped working today. anyone know whats wrong? | 23:41 |
| hotdog003 | The GSPCA webcam driver not release my Logitech Clicksmart 510, so I have to unplug my camera and plug it back in for other programs to get it to work. Any way to fix? | 23:41 |
| hotdog003 | does not* | 23:41 |
| viktor | soundray: sorry for cussing, not my intention. I'll look through it. thanks :) | 23:42 |
| danbhfive | kylcrow_ if your wireless works at all, you dont need it | 23:42 |
| kylcrow_ | ok it works for like 2 minutes then nothing | 23:42 |
| danbhfive | then you don't need it | 23:43 |
| hotdog003 | Ette: Is there an error message or something? | 23:43 |
| kylcrow_ | Server not found | 23:43 |
| solexious | Hello all, how can I check if ubuntu ha drivers for my generic pci raid card? | 23:43 |
| Ette | hotdog003: nah just goes to a new line in termnial | 23:43 |
| hotdog003 | solexious: The Ubuntu Wiki has an extensive hardware compatability list. I'd check that. | 23:44 |
| astro76 | solexious: google your card model number + linux | 23:44 |
| rsk | solexious: easiest would be to burn the livecd bootup and se if it works :) takes 10minutes to download the cd burn it and bootup | 23:44 |
| astro76 | !hardware | solexious | 23:44 |
| ubotu | solexious: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 23:44 |
| viktor | soundray: thanks again, it seems to be working fine now. :) | 23:44 |
| genewitch | soundray: no help there. i haven't seen many people saying "touchpad not functioning at all" mostly stuff like "scroll doesn't work" | 23:44 |
| hotdog003 | Ette: Do you have compiz fusion running? | 23:44 |
| danbhfive | kylcrow_ all i can suggest, personally, is to change the channel in your router | 23:44 |
| kylcrow_ | how do i do that? | 23:44 |
| Mahone | Since source-o-matic isn't available, can someone please send me his/her /etc/apt/sources.list? Sorry for repeating this, but I need kernel-headers to install VMware Workstation... | 23:44 |
| aruonoaru | how doi delete java folder locked on desktop, i want to remove java | 23:44 |
| genewitch | kylcrow: read the manual that came with your router? | 23:44 |
| astro76 | Mahone: gutsy | 23:45 |
| astro76 | ? | 23:45 |
| soundray | genewitch: it's also possible that you have to flip a setting in the BIOS setup to make it work -- "USB legacy mode" or similar. | 23:45 |
| danbhfive | kylcrow_ do you know how to setup your router at all? | 23:45 |
| kylcrow_ | oh sorry, I am at school it is all set up for me already | 23:45 |
| Mahone | astro76: What? | 23:45 |

| Ette | aruonoaru: do it via synaptic | 23:45 |
| PurpZeY | How do I mount a folder to the desktop using SSH? I did it once before but I can't recall how | 23:46 |
| Mahone | astro76: Yes | 23:46 |
| falconer | aruonoaru, use the synaptic package manager | 23:46 |
| danbhfive | kylcrow_ i don't know then, sorry :( | 23:46 |
| jetscreamer | there are no folders | 23:46 |
| kylcrow_ | thanks for trying :) | 23:46 |
| soundray | !fuse | PurpZeY | 23:46 |
| ubotu | PurpZeY: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs.

| kylcrow_ | can anyone help me with my wireless internet losing connection in about 2 minutes | 23:46 |
| falconer | you can delete the directory from the desktop by using the rm command on the command line | 23:46 |
| PurpZeY | soundray: I used sshfs, I have it installed, I just don't remember what the context is | 23:46 |
| nominativo | i have also problems with wireless connection | 23:47 |
| mtwatkin | Hello, I am using ubuntu 7.10, I am looking for someone who knows about xorg.conf problems | 23:47 |

| hotdog003 | Elle: Hmm, do you know if DRI is working? | 23:47 |
| genii | genewitch: Something which may work for you on this is to put as a kernel option usb-handoff | 23:47 |
| Ette | hotdog: WB, and whats DRI? | 23:47 |
| nominativo | it seems to be connected at 0% | 23:47 |
| hotdog003 | Ette: 1sec. | 23:47 |
| TheZealot | !flash | 23:47 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:48 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 23:48 |
| genewitch | genii: at the end after quiet splash and stuff? | 23:48 |
| kylcrow_ | My wireless internet seems to lose connection after about 2 minutes | 23:48 |

| hotdog003 | Ette: does it say yes? | 23:48 |
| genii | genewitch: Yes | 23:48 |
| Ette | hotdog003: yep, it says yes | 23:48 |
| soundray | genewitch: you can try it out without making a permanent change by hitting 'e' at the grub boot menu | 23:48 |
| hotdog003 | Ette: That means your 3d card is working. I'd suggest perhaps redownloading warsow? | 23:49 |
| nominativo | my wireless tricks | 23:49 |
| kylcrow_ | i didnt quit | 23:49 |
| genewitch | soundray: aye | 23:49 |
| kylcrow_ | My wireless internet seems to lose connection after about 2 minutes] | 23:49 |
| hotdog003 | Ette: Warsow 0.4 came out a few days ago and maybe it broke something...? | 23:49 |
| nominativo | kylcrow_ what card? | 23:49 |
| neverblue | kylcrow_, what router ? | 23:49 |
| Ette | hotdog003: i still got the zip so ill try re-unpacking it, then redownloading cause it worked yesterday (with 0.4) | 23:49 |
| kylcrow_ | its made for windows how do i check the card name? | 23:49 |
| kylcrow_ | Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) | 23:50 |
| hotdog003 | Ette: Yeah, check to see if the zip itself is corrupted also. | 23:50 |
| kylcrow_ | School router | 23:50 |
| neverblue | kylcrow_, I really doubt its 'made for just windows' | 23:50 |
| nominativo | i've got a broadcom 4318 | 23:50 |
| kazol | I have a printer that doesn't work anymore in terms of software....what should I do? | 23:50 |
| falconer | kazol? | 23:50 |
| zac_ | hey guys, I just installed some wireless drivers manually and the interfaces are showing up when I do ifconfig but there's nothing shown the upper right corner for me to pick a network | 23:50 |
| neverblue | kazol, buy a new one... | 23:50 |
| zac_ | its also not in /etc/network/interfaces | 23:50 |
| kylcrow_ | neverblue: i meant the laptop was sorry its a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI card | 23:50 |
| hotdog003 | kazol: Printer name? Manufacturer? | 23:50 |
| zac_ | I'm not sure what to add | 23:50 |
| kazol | falconer, neverblue: All requests to it are not printed; it worked before. | 23:51 |
| neverblue | kylcrow_, I didnt ask you what type of card | 23:51 |

| kylcrow_ | im sorry I dont know what card it is | 23:51 |
| nominativo | for router | 23:51 |
| neverblue | kazol, then what happened before it stopped printing, to cause it to no longer work ? | 23:51 |
| zoobox | anyone more than me that thinks it is rather irritating that the screen goes to energy saving (=turns off) before the ubuntu livecd have finnished (before I can see the desktop) ? | 23:51 |
| soundray | kylcrow_: broadcom devices tend to be troublesome. Consider replacing it with an Intel 2200BG | 23:51 |
| falconer | kazol, does the printer have a button on it to tell it to print a test page? | 23:51 |
| kazol | neverblue: Nothing much except resetting it. | 23:51 |
| hotdog003 | pteague: Do an ssh-add; Putty's pagent is just a clone of ssh-agent | 23:51 |
| Hazarath | Ok, my laptop is having a hard time playing a video file, it's like, 1,200 bps framerate, and it's stammering bad... what can I do to fix it? | 23:52 |

| neverblue | kylcrow_, you just told me what card it was, now your saying you dont know what card it is, plus I asked you what router u were using, not what card | 23:52 |
| kazol | falconer: Yes, it prints the test page without any problems. | 23:52 |
| nominativo | i'm thinking about replacing | 23:52 |
| pteague | hotdog003> yeah, that works on the command line, but i need it for gui | 23:52 |
| neverblue | kazol, resetting the printer ? | 23:52 |
| falconer | kazol, is it a usb printer? | 23:52 |
| pteague | ubotu> !pageant | 23:52 |
| genewitch | neverblue: someone else had asked him what card he had :-) | 23:52 |

| aruonoaru | i need some 1 on 1 help for installing java and running frostwire, forums confuse me | 23:52 |
| kazol | falconer: No it's an archaic parallel port laser printer (from 1994 I think). | 23:52 |
| Ette | hotdog003: new unzip works perfectly | 23:52 |
| kylcrow_ | neverblue: It is a school router that I can not control | 23:53 |
